Muxia

Having stopped early yesterday due to torrential rains and wind, I made it to Muxia this morning under clear skies and gorgeous weather.   

Started today with the official tour of the Romanesque church of San Xulian.  Some lovely murals on the walls depicting the sins the monks were to avoid.   But I was particularly taken by the carvings by the doors... done in the style of the Cathedral in Santiago.   This one is of the monk

My favorite is that of the pilgrim. 

Just a short walk from the monastery into Muxia, one of two coastal terminal points for the Camino.   

This town is under the patronage of Our Lady of the Boat.  

They have Mass there in the evening,  so hopefully I can take some pictures after praying.
