The Town

Discover Finisterre

Finisterre, or Fisterra in Galician, is far more than a fishing village; it is the legendary "Finis Terrae", the end of the known world for the Romans and a place charged with deep pagan and Christian symbolism. For thousands of pilgrims, the journey does not end in Santiago de Compostela. They feel the ancestral call to carry on to this headland, the final point of the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía. Reaching it is the true epilogue of the pilgrimage, an encounter with the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. The ritual is almost obligatory: walking up to the iconic lighthouse, one of the most important on the Costa da Morte, watching an unforgettable sunset and, traditionally, burning a garment or a boot worn along the Camino as a symbol of purification and rebirth. The town of Fisterra, with its fishing harbour, its fish market and its excellent seafood restaurants, gives a warm welcome to the pilgrim who has reached the end of a journey both physical and spiritual. It is a magical place where land, sea and sky meet on an infinite horizon.
