<DIV><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#0000ff>After walking to
Santiago from St. Jean Pied de Port, and then the three days' further walk
to Finisterre, it was my experience that the walk from town to the lighthouse
was nothing more than another km. or so... not difficult at all. Those who
will walk to Finisterre shouldn't find it any more difficult than your daily
walk along the Camino. And yes, there definitely is a sense of "the
end of the world" from the rocks at the lighthouse. Enjoy it!</FONT></DIV>

</BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>I agree. One word of caution. Even if you go
there by bus, the climb up to the lighthouse from the town proper where the
bus lets you off can be quite challenging. The road is very steep and
the climb was somewhat difficult for us since we did not expect it. Some
of our friends shared a taxi from Santiago which took them directly up to the
lighthouse so they were spared the hike. Howard Mendes, NYC</FONT>
