Cape Finisterre

Cape Fisterra lies about 3.5 km south of the town of Fisterra and can be reached by car or on foot. The name comes from the Latin finis terrae, "end of the earth". The cape is crowned by the Faro de Fisterra lighthouse; the former keepers' house is now a hotel with a café-bar and restaurant. For pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, Fisterra is an alternative destination, and the Finisterrana certificate is issued at the tourist office. South of the lighthouse stands a monument in the shape of a pilgrim's boot.

Many visitors come for the sunset over the Atlantic, but the cape is impressive at any time of day, as long as fog or rain do not block the view. Wikivoyage points out that Fisterra is often regarded as the westernmost point of Europe, although Cabo da Roca in Portugal lies further west. According to Wikivoyage, the Camino's zero-kilometre marker stands next to the steps up to the reception of the Hotel O Semaforo.
