Perhaps because Cape Fisterra hides the real secret of the Costa da Morte: wild landscapes and impressive beaches, some (sheltered by the promontory ) with calm waters and others with strong waves like Mar de Fora, one of the wildest beaches in Galicia.
Finisterre Lighthouse (Fisterra Lighthouse)
It is probably the most visited lighthouse in Europe as well as the closest to America.
Built in 1853, 138 metres above sea level Considered the promontory at the end of the world “Finis Terrae“. For thousands of years, it was thought that beyond it there was only a watery chasm where the sun went out every night and through which one reached a region of darkness populated by sea monsters.
