Fisterra (Galician pronunciation: [fisˈtɛrɐ]; Spanish: Finisterre [finisˈtere]) is a municipality in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It belongs to the comarca of Fisterra. Fisterra is on Cape Finisterre, an alternative final destination for pilgrims on the Way of St. James who seek to travel beyond Santiago de Compostela.
About the region:
Cabo Fisterra
The Romans thought that this was the earth's westernmost point and therefore that the world ended here. It was the finisterrae, or land's end. Why would someone want to go to the end of the world?
Perhaps it is because the Cabo Fisterra cape hides the true secret of the Costa da Morte: wild rough landscapes and amazing beaches, some (protected by the cape) with calm waters and others with strong waves like that of Mar de Fóra, one of Galicia's wildest beaches. And the greatest attraction of all times: the sunset over the enormity of the ocean, the sea of the end of the world.
