For the 2nd time we broadcast from Spain, today we are in Finisterre. As it is written in the name, Finis Terrae represented the border of known land, no one could go further. Today it represents the place where some Santiago 's pilgrims go to burn one of their objects and Pick up a shell at the beach, the sign which confirms their pilgrimage. Today, as one thousand years ago, it isn't changed the sensation you can feel when the ocean is all around your sight and it slowly becomes red while the sun sunsets beyond the horizon. And horizon is our first word for today. In Greek HORIZÓN means circle which delimits our sight in every side . It's a circle, it's a line. For sure it's an imaginary line which can divide the sky from the earth, or from the sea in our case. But this line is very important for us because it takes the shape of a circle, of a circle which sorrounds the observer: the horizon remembers us that we are in the center of all, it remembers me that I'm the true observer and the main protagonist of this wonderful show, for me now it's the ocean, but I'm sure everyone of us has his favourite horizon, that place which can hug the observer and welcome him, as of the landscape, the panorama, is exclusively for him. And the word panorama hides a little but important detail: always in Greek, PAN means all and ORÁO means I see. It's very simple to understand that when you look at an horizon, which encloses you with its circolar hug, the panorama you are watching is simply the sensation, the pleasant sensation that makes you see everything for some instants , you can have a full sight about what you see and overall what you feel. Nature wants to give is this wonderful gift, it lets us the possibility to see everything. And after 900 km of Camino, this is the biggest gift I wish to everyone of us.

"We are the greatest show after Big Bang, you and me"
With these words the Italian singer Jovanotti shows us an other important detail: extraordinary events have at least two actors, panorama and observer,horizon between sky and sea, sun and horizon when it sunsets. And the sunset hasn't got a negative meaning, sunset (tramonto in Italian) means go beyond the mountains, TRANS MONTES, it doesn't mean that everything is over or that light turns off definitely. The sunset is simply a greeting, it's the way nature chose to show us how we can greet someone when it's time to divide. And there isn't a more complete and simpler model than the sunset, overall if the sun greets us beyond the horizon of the sea, or of a mountain we like. It goes slowly down and when disappears it gives us the most beautiful part, all that we didn't know he had, the light, the colours, the memory of what we lived together. And the sun goes down away, beyond that horizon which doesn't let us alone because it's a circle, an hug which let us in front of an unrepeatable panorama, in front of all we can see and feel.
And with this image I stop here my Camino and with my heart I desire to thank all the pilgrims I met in this days.
Buen Camino Hermanos Queridos
