As time goes by it was discovered that this was a wrong evaluation, but this didn\u2019t damage the charm of the area.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20197 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Fisterra_lighthouse-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Fisterra lighthouse\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This municipality is part of A Costa da Morte, known like this because of the big amount of wrecks that happened on its littoral. Nevertheless, it exists a legend that claims that this name came from the Celtic people that lived in Galicia. This myth says that after doing the Camino de las Estrellas (Star\u2019s Walk,&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Camino de Santiago<\/span>), the Celtic pilgrims stopped to rest at this location in Fisterra Cape to observe how the day died.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nowadays, there are a lot of pilgrims that continue their way from Santiago to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/finisterre-way\/\" style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); line-height: var( --e-global-typography-text-line-height );\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Fisterra<\/span>&nbsp;<\/a>and, sometimes, also to&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Mux\u00eda<\/span>. Just next to the Finisterre Lighthouse, in the same place Romans and Celtics believed the last populated spot of the Earth, the walkers can relax looking at the ocean. A lot of them used to burn their belongings here in order to purify themselves and leave behind anything they don\u2019t want to carry anymore. Nevertheless, the authorities prohibited this after there were some small fires and because the landscape was being damaged with this kind of acts.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-20150 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/fisterra_galiwonders-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"fisterra boot\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Symbolically because of the Camino, a pair of boots were placed in this spot.

Before existing, a lot of ships were wrecked in this area of A Costa da Morte. Among them, 25 vessels that were part of the Second Invincible Navy of Felipe the Second went to the bottom of the sea.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Placed even in a higher point than the lighthouse, that has 17 meters altitude, there is the traffic light. This structure was created in 1879 with the purpose of sending signals to the war marine. At the present, this is not its function anymore. After some years when the deterioration of the building was increasing, Jes\u00fas Picallo took it. With C\u00e9sar Portela as the architect, they renovated this space and they made a rural hotel with very good reviews. The rooms of the O Sem\u00e1foro de Finisterre have names as \u201c<em>stellae<\/em>\u201d or \u201cof the shipwrecheds\u201d, in a clear tribute to the history of the edification.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This area is kind of dangerous because of the fog, that made more difficult that the light of the lighthouse could be seen from far away. For this reason, in 1889 a siren that alerted the vessels about the risks to get close to the coast was included to the complex. This construction, called the Vaca de Fisterra (Fisterra\u2019s cow), existed thanks to \u00c1ngel Garc\u00eda del Hoyo.&nbsp;&nbsp;It can send out two strident noises every minute to a distance of 25 miles (around 46 km) in a medium time. Nowadays, Fisterra&#8217;s Cow is not working.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8deffe4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8deffe4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d54d83\" data-id=\"7d54d83\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7aafeb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"7aafeb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"131031\" class=\"elementor elementor-131031\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d2d723a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d2d723a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ea154ff\" data-id=\"7ea154ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d451f13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d451f13\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-229db094\" data-id=\"229db094\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78515af2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78515af2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO PRACTICAL GUIDE<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc84fe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bc84fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FREE DOWNLOAD<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2204a581 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2204a581\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our FREE Practical Guide to the Camino de Santiago.

After some reformations, this system was replaced by the incandescence lamps, that can emit a blink every five seconds.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To this Finisterre Lighthouse were added with the time the traffic light and the siren. The three elements together are what the travelers identify with Fisterra. If you go around this structure, you can sit on the rokcs and observe the sunset or just relax with the sound of the ocean.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finisterre-Way\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finisterre Way<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Those pilgrims who arrive in Santiago de Compostela and decide to continue their way, can do it until Fisterra or Mux\u00eda. The Finisterre Way is 86 km long that can be done in four walking days. The first stage, 21 km far away from Santiago, is in Negreira and it isn&#8217;t considered difficult. This is an advantage because the next journey the distance increase until the 32 km from Negreira to Olveiroa. The first day goes through eucalyptus and pine forests and also through small villages, while the second one you will pass through a mountainous area.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-20243 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/puerto-pesquero_galiwonders-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"sailor's port aliwonders\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>On the third day and 18 km far away from Olveiroa we find the sailor\u2019s village of Cee. The last journey is the shortest, only 15 km. It comes with amazing views of the cliffs of this coast until reaching Cabo Finisterre. The pilgrims that arrive here can get an official document called Fisterrana that proves that they did the Camino de Finisterre. But be careful! You should put at least two stamps per day in your Pilgrim&#8217;s Passport since you leave Santiago to have it.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The legend says that the Virgin arrived to Mux\u00eda in a boat made out of stone to cheer up the Apostol. Nowadays, this is the other destination pilgrims chose as their end of the way. Once you are in Fisterra, you should walk 28 km more to reach Mux\u00eda and get your Muxiana, a similar document to the Compostela and the Fisterrana. From Finisterre to Lires there are only 13 km through small villages. Lastly, during the 15 km that go to Mux\u00eda you will walk on the Mount Facho. In total, 114 km in six journeys are enough to walk the <a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/finisterre-way\/santiago-to-muxia\/\"><strong>Finisterre and Muxia Way<\/strong><\/a> while enjoying the unknown and spectacular landscapes of A Costa da Morte.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Lighthouses-Way\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Lighthouses Way<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fisterre Cape is not only the end of the Camino for those who arrive in Santiago de Compostela but also for those who walk the Cami\u00f1o dos Faros (<a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/walking-holidays\/lighthouse-way\/\"><strong>Lighthouses Way<\/strong><\/a>). This hiking route is spectacular and it goes next to the coast from Malpica to Finisterre. This path can be done in eight stages and it passes near the most emblematic lighthouses of A Costa da Morte, before reaching Finisterre.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20230 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/camino-dos-faros_Galiwonders-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"lighthouses way\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" \/>Furthermore, this way allows the walkers to enjoy the little villages typical from the Galician coast, the calm beaches and the spectacular cliffs. This route is still not very popular among pilgrims. As such, walking it doesn\u2019t mean to go in the middle of the crowd. Nevertheless, it is convenient to pay attention because it has some difficulties, and the terrain is a bit irregular. It is recommended to take the most comfortable clothes and shoes and stop to rest in some of the local bars and restaurants along the way,, if it is necessary.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-can-you-do-around-Finisterre\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What can you do around Finisterre?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Costa da Morte is a very charm area and it can be enjoyed without being exposed to the big amount of tourists, typical in another places. However, if you are looking to enjoy the solitude, we recommend to avoid summer months to do so.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Less than 30 km far away from Fisterra it is located Mux\u00eda, the other reference spot for pilgrims in A Costa da Morte. It was here where the Virgin arrived in a stone-made boat to give encouragement to St James the Apostle during his trip. According to the legend, the remains of the ship are still in the area and are distributed in the Pedra de Abalar (Movement\u2019s Stone), the Pedra dos Cadr\u00eds (Hit\u2019s Stone), the Pedra dos Namorados (Lover\u2019s Stone) and the Pedra do Tem\u00f3n (Rudder\u2019s Stone). Precisely at this point it was built the Santuario da Virxe da Barca, that receives every year thousand of devotees. In the Christmas day of 2013, a lightning hit the building and caused a fire that destroyed the frontal retablo and the roof. After its remodelling in 2015, the temple recovered the appearance and the visits increased.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-20144 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/ezaro_galiwonders-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\u00c9zaro waterfall\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More or less at the same distance but in the south of the Finisterre Lighthouse there is the only waterfall in Europe that flows into the see, the Fervenza do \u00c9zaro (\u00c9zaro waterfall). Placed in the council of Dumbr\u00eda, this phenomenon is worth the visit. In addition, some days of the year there is a light spectacle on the waterfall that visitors really enjoy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most importantly, these two visits and the one to the Finisterre Lighthouse are included in <a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/experiences\/\"><strong>one of the day trips<\/strong><\/a> that Galiwonders organizes.

The building has two floors and the one on the top makes possible a complete vision of what happen on the one below. \u00a0Even if a modern system throw a mobile application was installed, there is still the possibility to see the auction in the traditional way: at the top of their lounges.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-20147 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/mar_costa-da-morte_galiwonders-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"costa da morte coast\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A coastal area so characteristic as A Costa da Morte has numerous beaches where to go to swim. But be careful! The water at the Atlantic Ocean is very cold. If you don\u2019t dare to go inside the water, we recommend you to go anyway and walk on the sand of some of the most popular beaches: Langosteira and Mar de Fora, even if with this one you should be careful because it is as dangerous as beautiful.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After that, you can find a terrace to sit and drink something while enjoying the Galician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-GMvuXWomJs\"><strong>gastronomy<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>in Fisterra, Mux\u00eda, Dumbr\u00eda or any other place of A Costa da Morte. The <a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/blog\/food-on-the-camino-de-santiago\/\"><strong>daily menus<\/strong><\/a> are often a good option and they usually offer dishes that include a vegetarian option.
