Continue south along the Costa da Morte to its most famous point — though famous is a relative term here. Finisterre is the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula and for centuries it was considered the edge of the known world. The name means exactly that in Latin.

The drive up to the cape itself is a road that winds through low scrubland and granite outcrops before arriving at a small lighthouse on a headland above open ocean. The lighthouse is still functioning. The views extend to nothing — just water, in every direction that matters.

Finisterre is also the unofficial endpoint of one of the Camino de Santiago routes. Pilgrims who have walked hundreds of kilometers sometimes continue here after reaching Santiago, drawn by the same instinct that brought the Romans to A Coruña — the feeling that the ocean is a destination in itself, not just an obstacle.

This guide does not cover the Camino. But here, at the end of this cape, you will understand why people walk for weeks to stand in this exact spot.

There is a 0km marker at the lighthouse — the road ends here. Officially. Literally.

Practical note: sunset at Finisterre is the obvious play. If the timing works, plan for it. If it does not, the cape is worth visiting in any light.
