Fisterra

Fisterra straddles a narrow peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ría de Corcubión on Galicia’s Costa da Morte, a position that has made seafaring and fishing central to local life. The town faces Cape Finisterre, whose headland has long carried the European idea of the “end of the earth”; its lighthouse was first lit in 1853. Fisterra is also a traditional final destination for walkers continuing beyond Santiago de Compostela on the Camino de Santiago. Around its working harbour and granite streets, seafood remains part of everyday Galician life, while beaches and exposed shores bring the Atlantic close.
