| Second
western cape of Galicia
 The
Cape Tourinan enters in the Atlantic ocean looking for the End
of the World. It reaches its maximum western longitude
with 9º 18 ' 19 '' to the West of Greenwich, being minimumly
overcome by the Cape Nave, in Fisterra, and the Cape Roca, in Portugal,
with 9º 29 ' 50 ''.
In front of this western European cape can
be seen, from September to November, the spectacular autumnal corridor
of migratory birds like the Sula, Sterna,
Stercorarius, Melanitta, and Larus.
The constant winds in Tourinan made
of this wild coast a rough and inhospitable place, silent witness
of tragic shipwrecks. The view from Tourinan shows all the deserted
coasts of the Land's End, from Cape Buitra and Cape
Vilan to southern Cape Nave.
The narrow Tourinan footpaths are ideal to
enjoy a beautiful excursion to the small Moreira beach or
the long one of Nemina, sung by the Bard Eduardo Pondal :
