The point is a cliff that rises from the feared islets of O Petonciño and A Centola to the mount of O Facho (242 m) where it seems that the Ara Solis of Antiquity was used for the celebration of solar rites. Traditionally it is considered the westernmost point of the continent, although in truth it does not correspond to that title. The Camino de Santiago extends to here for pilgrims who, according to tradition, burn their clothes on the seashore and begin the return home.
