Finisterre
Finisterre, historically known as the ‘end of the world’, is renowned for its lighthouse, rugged coastline and pilgrimage tradition.
Finisterre, regarded by the Romans as the ‘Finis Terrae’, was seen as the edge of the known world. Ancient sun cults flourished here and, centuries later, it became the final destination for many pilgrims who extended the Way of St James all the way to the ocean.
Throughout its history, it has also been the scene of notable events, such as the shipwreck of part of the Second Spanish Armada in 1596 off its coast. Traditionally linked to fishing, the village has grown up around its port, maintaining a strong seafaring identity.
Today, Finisterre combines its historical legacy with a natural setting of great beauty, marked by cliffs and the iconic lighthouse dating from 1853, a symbol of the meeting of land and the Atlantic.
