The end of the world!

So I’m a little behind on the old blogging, but for those who are interested I managed to walk to the end of the world to Finisterre. The weather was pretty ordinary with constant rain for the first day and fairly windy for parts of days 2 & 3. This is the section of the walk that I didn’t complete the previous time, so was glad that I managed to walk it all despite the weather.

The largest swinging incense burner in the world in action – it weights 80kgs and is filled with 40kgs of charcoal and incense.

Preparing the incense swinger – note the 4 priests to the side who pulls the ropes to make it swing. it was swung during the pilgrims mass.
