Day 33 Lires-Muxia

May 17 

Well we made it once again to the end of the world. It was a beautiful walk over the mountain, through the small villages.  A farmer showed us his crops. What I thought was tomato plants turned out to be potatoe plants. We met a Frenchman who has helped us before.  He explained how to get into Muxia without getting lost. We then met a German woman we met in Finisterre  who was on her way back. Her daughter lives I'n Stockton California. Roads were easy to walk. Lovely. We came into Muxia. It is a small fishing port with a population of a little over 6000. An interesting place with narrow winding streets. We walked the city and then came up to the modern new albergue that has 24 beds. Cost is 5 euros each. We then went to the harbor for lunch. I wanted to try pulpo which is a spicy octopus. Not my thing. It is too rubbery. Stu had to eat most of it as i ate the baby clams. Excellent  we had salad, bread and Ribera wine.
