The early morning train from Burela to Ferrol afforded very pleasant views of the sunrise over the ocean. We learned the Spanish words for one-way and round trip from the train conductor as we bought our tickets.

Upon arrival a Ferrol, we walked across town to collect a rental car and drive down the coast to Cape Finisterre (Land's End). There were a large number of hikers walking out to the end of the penninsula. This is the end of a common Spanish hiking/pilgrimage trailed called "Camino de Santiago."

After a nice visit, we drove up over the mountains into the neighboring region of Castillo y Leon. We spent the night at an lovely old house in the small village of El Valle that has been converted to a small hotel.
