After walking the Camino from Lisbon we became tourists and enjoyed the bus trip to Finisterre and Muxía. Was a misty miserable day but it was nice to be on the coach and not walking. Pablo the tour guide was amazing with his knowledge and made the day a lot of fun even singing my wife happy birthday. Totally recommend the trip. Left at 9.00 back at 6.00pm
