Lires is easy to leave behind. A few houses, one last look around, and the first hill is already ahead of you. It’s the final day, and you can feel it. There’s no rush, just a gentle wistfulness.
The stage is easy. You walk over rolling countryside, past woodland and fields, and with a little over four hours of walking there’s no need to sprint anywhere. Then comes Muxía, with the sea and the church of the Virxe da Barca on the rocks. This is where the Camino truly ends. The public albergue is already waiting for you. If you start at a normal time, you’ll have the afternoon left to explore the coast at your leisure.
