Estaca de Bares, Northernmost cape in Galicia, Spain
The peninsula of Estaca de Bares extends into the Atlantic Ocean and Cantabrian Sea, marking the natural boundary between these two bodies of water.
The area contains the remains of a Phoenician salt fish factory and port structures, indicating maritime activities dating back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
The ornithological station at Estaca de Bares monitors the passage of over two million birds annually during their migration between September and December.
Visitors can access the cape via the AC-862 road, with accommodations available at the converted naval semaphore building now functioning as a nature hotel.
The region receives more than 2500 millimeters of annual rainfall, creating conditions similar to a temperate rainforest at this geographical point.
