Day Cinco (Wed) Baldaio - Cabo Vilan - Finisterre - Cabo Finisterre -Muros - Portosin (140miles)

Can’t really be arsed to write today so just a quick summary of the past 2 days (its now Thur night).

Cabo Vilan was the 1st port of call yesterday, a lighthouse and monetary type place and a bloke on a bike eating chorizo y queso sandwiches.

Onto Finnestre via a lovely flowing coastal road, Finnestre itself is a nice little fishing town but the rain started when I got there so ducked into a café for a caffeine injection and an opportunity to put my waterproofs on, down the road from Finnestre is Cabo Finnestre but by the time I got there this was shrouded in mist.

Campsite at Muros was closed and no other alternative in the immediate vicinity but at least the light rain which I had encountered since Finnestre had stopped about 30mins ago. One of the guys getting the campsite ready for the season informed me that I should head 30mins down the coast to Porto Son and should be able to pick up a campsite.

A few miles short of Porto Son I found a decent campsite at Porto Sin and was approached by an English bloke whilst pitching the tent. It turns out he and his wife had been stuck there for a month after the engine on his Discovery blew up and he was still waiting on news of a replacement engine.

Estrella Galicia on tap in the bar so a few pints of that lubricated me nicely whilst wastching Real Madrid hammer Barcelona 4-1.
