Cape Finisterre
Finisterre sits on Galicia's rugged Costa da Morte, its granite cape long regarded by Camino pilgrims as the symbolic end of the world, a three-day walk beyond Santiago de Compostela. The lighthouse at Cabo Fisterra marks the westernmost point many travelers reach, where pilgrims traditionally burned boots or clothing after completing their journey.
