From the famous North Cape in Norway and St. Vincent in Portugal, Finisterre is undoubtedly the most emblematic of the European Atlantic coast's finisterres.
The mythical ‘Promontorium Nerium’ of the Roman geographers, it goes deep into the ocean to become the authentic ‘Finisterrae’, full of myths and legends that go back thousands of years. We must try to reach the End of the Earth to experience the sensation of dominion exerted by the immensity of the sea and fix our gaze on the granite cliffs; cliffs that witnessed historic shipwrecks, fierce storms and great storms. To the west, the majestic Monte Pindo, the Celtic Olympus of Galicia, dominates the surrounding landscape and slides its slope down to the placid waters of the estuary.
The small and seafaring town of Fisterra lives by and for the sea, revolves around the fishing port and the fish auction market. In the old part you can appreciate the authentic seafaring atmosphere in the narrow and reduced streets, in the corner houses, in the small squares and in the taverns and taverns where the best of the sea is consumed: the fresh fish and seafood.
