Finisterre

Finisterre, or Fisterra in Galician, is more than a fishing village; it's the legendary "Finis Terrae", the end of the world known to the Romans and a place loaded with deep pagan and Christian symbolism. For thousands of pilgrims, the journey doesn't end in Santiago de Compostela. They feel the ancestral call to continue until this cape, the endpoint of the Camino to Finisterre and Muxía. Arriving here is the true finale of the pilgrimage, a meeting with the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. The ritual is almost obligatory: walking to the iconic lighthouse, one of the most important in Costa da Morte, watching an unforgettable sunset and, traditionally, burning some worn-out clothing or boot from the Camino as a symbol of purification and rebirth. The village of Fisterra, with its fishing port, its market, and excellent seafood restaurants, offers warm hospitality to the pilgrim who has reached the end of their physical and spiritual journey. It's a magical place where land, sea, and sky come together in an endless horizon.
