Fisterra Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

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 to celebrate solar rites. Traditionally it is considered the westernmost point of the continent, although in truth it does not correspond to such a title. Until here the Camino de Santiago continues for the pilgrims who, according to tradition, burn their clothes at the seashore and begin their return home.

May 26, 2022,CdN 35. Etappe: Cee - Fisterra

🥳😃🥳
Goal achieved 💪
It was another nice route today with lots of views and lots of sun.
I deliberately arrived in Finisterre early today, 10:00 a.m., because I didn't want to meet the crowds, tourists and pilgrims.
I can only recommend the way back I chose, great views of the sea.

Buen Camino! 🇪🇸
This morning we had Galician weather "rain" again. But we're used to it and went straight for a coffee. The rain let up and we started our journey to the westernmost end of the world 🗺️.
There were very beautiful views along the coast and also through the small towns. Today the eucalyptus forests smelled extremely good.

After arriving in the town of Fisterra, unfortunately it …
