Finisterre
Where it all begins.
The Romans believed that this was the most westerly point on the earth and that this was where the world came to an end. It was the “finis terrae”; So, why would anyone want to go to the end of the world?
Perhaps it’s because Cape Fisterra hides the true secret of the Costa da Morte: wild landscapes and impressive beaches. Some are sheltered by the cape and feature calm waters, while others, like Mar de Fora, are among the wildest beaches in Galicia and offer powerful surf.
Let’s not forget the timeless attraction that has enchanted generations: watching the sunset over the vastness of the ocean from the end of the world.
The powerful lighthouse, Cabo Fisterra, continues to hold a special allure for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, who complete their epic journeys upon arrival here.
