Well, we've done it. It was a 615 km walk, or more according to some. We are tired but happy and now have almost two days in Santiago to relax.

| Getting very close! |
The walk today went well, and knowing that it was the last such day made it easier. We were on the road by 8.15am and the route took us along narrow country roads and farm tracks. Also, the long drag into Santiago that we had experienced on the Camino Frances was not evident this time and we were in the centre before we knew it. Already we have met a number of people we haven't seen for days and even weeks. We expect more of this tomorrow.

| Arrived! |
We are trying to pinpoint a mass in the cathedral when the botafumeiro will happen. We have seen this before but want to see it again. A number of men swing a large thurible type of device, full of burning incense, the length of the cathedral. It is a very dramatic event that lasts for about five minutes.

| Iffy outside but great inside! |
We gained access to our Airbnb apartment (after a bit of a delay) and it is really well appointed. So it's a quiet night in, recharge the batteries, and see the town tomorrow.
We'll put a few thoughts together and put them into a final blog tomorrow.
