Finisterre Tours & Activities | Explore Spain's Atlantic Coast

Finisterre, perched on the dramatic Costa da Morte in Galicia, charms travellers with its wild Atlantic scenery and legendary lighthouse. Once believed to be the “end of the world,” this captivating town invites visitors with sweeping ocean views, rugged cliffs, and a rich maritime spirit that glimmers in its harbours and local culture.

A Glimpse into the Past

Finisterre’s roots stretch back to Roman times, when it was thought to mark the westernmost point of the known world. Its name, derived from the Latin "Finis Terrae," means "end of the earth." Throughout history, pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago have continued their walk here, drawn by its mystical sunsets and spiritual significance.

Best Time to Go

While Finisterre has a mild, maritime climate year-round, the best months to visit are from May to September. During this time, the weather is pleasant and sunny, ideal for exploring the coastline or enjoying fresh seafood along the waterfront.

How do I get to Finisterre?

The easiest way is by car from Santiago de Compostela, about a 90-minute drive. There are also local buses available, offering scenic routes through the Galician countryside.

Is the lighthouse open to visitors?
