FISTERRA
End of the World

The end of the Route.
 

 
 
Fisterra´s singularity emerges from the conjunction of symbols, attributed by history and local traditions. It is a territory marked with the term: the frontier, the imaginary end of the itinerary; which is also the end of the Pilgrimage route to Santiago. 



 
Here, since time immemorial, the reality of this beautiful nature merges out together with the region´s cultural and ethnological values. It is necessary to get to know this region so that you can revive its beauty. Approaching Fisterra is like living in a dream world where the sea is outlined by its morphological peninsula. The sea is the core of its comunications and dictates the habits and customs of its inhabitants.

 
It is without doubt the countryside which gives priority to the midenvironmental resources of tourist attractions: the coastal line, cliffs, country beaches and the Western Coastal beaches such as the well known beaches of O Sardiñeiro, Langosteira, Rostro and Mar de Fora.

 
 
Another outstanding place is the area of "Cabo", situated at the end of the Costa da Morte. Here,  you will be able to feel the sensation of having reached the end of the World. Glancing at the inmense open sea (It is said that every wave carries the soul of a sailor who has died, so many boats have been lost in the swell or smashed against the rocks.) and contemplating the sunset - as the Roman Conqueror, Decimo Juno Bruto once did. This is a feeling which you will feel accompanied by shivers and goose pimples.

 
The same can be said about its monumental patrimony, the towns development, housing estates (all having a seaboard taste) and the villages traditional architecture, adapting to the municipality.
There is still more. Tourists who approach these places will feel amazed by their incredible festivities and excellent gastronomy, such as the festiveal of Longueiron and its exquisite shellfish.
