Una,whatever you end up doing ,the great thing is your dad will be with you.I wish so much that I could get my sons to even understand my addiction to the Camino never mind walk with me.I hope he sees what you see in this experience.Buen Camino.3 weeks from today, my dad is flying in to meet me in Santiago when I finish my Camino Portugues. We hope to walk for 3 days out near Finisterre. He is not a walker and has done little to no training so the full Camino Finisterre is out.
Originally I hoped to get out towards Maronas and divide the trip into 3 15 kms days (approx) finishing in Finisterre and getting the bus back to Santiago from there. But there doesn't seem to be a bus that stops in Maronas? And a Neigrera-start could potentially leave the days too long for him to deal with.
What do people think of a bus to Cee and walk to Finisterre (day 1) and then divide Finisterre to Muxia over 2 days, stopping in Lires or Frixe? I want to give him a taste of the Camino without killing him, so I'm a bit concerned about that incline before Muxia? Is it a tough climb? And finally, buses back to Santiago from Muxia?
Apologies for the long winded ramble!
I'll be very interested to know what you end up doing. My husband is meeting me in Santiago, and we've talked about doing something similar. A way for he and I to reconnect, with some flavor of the camino. He doesn't have walking limitations, but we're trying to figure out timetable before going to Valencia to meet up with cousins, then on to Barcelona.3 weeks from today, my dad is flying in to meet me in Santiago when I finish my Camino Portugues.

Thanks Sabine - we are really spoiling ourselves. I have 2 days in SdC before he arrives (if my planned route doesn't get scuppered with any more storms!) And then we have 3 nights in SdC at the end before we fly back to Ireland - mainly so I don't go straight from Camino back into work and have a little time to decompress first!Una, have fun walking with your dad. But yes the suggestion of walking a part of your Portugues again with him sounds very nice. But then again I'm very subjective just having walked this beautiful Camino. Or maybe walk one day into SdC and another one bussing to Finisterrre. IMHO it is also nice spending at least a day in SdC and just relax a bit...
Thanks Wayfarer - I think this option is winning so far!Hi Una, you can get a bus from Santiago to Cee and there is private accommodation there, the walk out of Cee is a bit steep but very doable if you take it easy with your dad. The views after that are beautiful especially coming into Finisterre. The walk to Muxia is very pleasant, some road, some woodland and stretches by the shore. Muxia is the best place to finish the Camino IMO as it is a lovely town and not commercialised like Finisterre.
Whatever you decide, enjoy it all.
Buen Camino.
Hi Seabird - at the moment the plan that seems to be coming together is bus to Cee, walk to Finisterre and stay a night there, then to Muxia with a night halfway along. That may change and if it does I'll let you know!I'll be very interested to know what you end up doing. My husband is meeting me in Santiago, and we've talked about doing something similar.

So, let us know!
Hi Una, my husband and I did this in June. We wanted 4 days of strolling at the end of our Camino. It worked perfectly for us - hopefully it will for you and your Dad too. Buen Camino!What do people think of a bus to Cee and walk to Finisterre (day 1) and then divide Finisterre to Muxia over 2 days, stopping in Lires or Frixe?

Thanks all - my poor dad hurt his back gardening so our plans have been largely scuppered. I've booked 2 nights in Finisterre and we'll get the bus there and back and walk around there, including up to the Lighthouse.
