Fisterra, Coastal municipality in A Coruña Province, Spain

Located on the Costa da Morte, Fisterra extends along steep cliffs and sandy beaches, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the northwestern edge of Spain.

The Romans named this location 'Finis Terrae' as they considered it the westernmost point of their known world, marking the end of inhabitable land.

The municipality preserves Galician maritime traditions through its fishing port activities, seafood gastronomy, and nautical festivals throughout the calendar year.

Travelers reach Fisterra via regular bus services from Santiago de Compostela, with the journey taking approximately two hours through coastal roads.

The lighthouse of Fisterra, constructed in 1853, stands 138 meters above sea level and marks the final destination for many Santiago pilgrimage routes.
