Well worth a visit. A lovely place to look at the horizon. A nice opportunity to take awesome photos. There's a restaurant and bar there to have something to eat or drink. Otherwise, in town you have many more. You'll find souvenirs in many of the stalls nearby. The lighthouse has a car park right next to it which is useful as the area is very steep. An interesting place to visit both for pilgrims and tourists alike. After a visit to the lighthouse and taking in the breathtaking views you might think of going down into town. Finisterre has a really long beach called Praia Da Langosteira . Great for a nice long walk, although very windy. One end of the beach seems to be much less windy but is much more crowded. Near the port you have many restaurants which have seafood, among other dishes. We visited in July and it was quite crowded.

The Cape Finisterre Lighthouse (or Faro de Cabo Finisterre in Spanish) stands at the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula at Cape Finisterre, on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. It was constructed in 1853 as a reminder of numerous marine battles have occurred between the French and English navies around the cape. The wild and treacherous Cape Finisterre has been known as the ‘End of the World’ since medieval times. Before the first return voyage from the Americas, it was believed that this was the westernmost point of land. Currently it's famous by be considered the alternative end of the Saints James Way (Camino de Santiago). The landscape is unique and very spiritual.

This is a great place to visit. The end of the known world for centuries. It has the obvious faro, a hotel, a bar, a small tourist trap shop and some toilets. It's a great place just to chill after a long long walk but it is let down by the toilets which were in need of cleaning. The views are spectacular. Over the bay to Ezaro and the mountains; over the sea...... The endless sea. But But if you want to see the last of the sun's rays at this time of year (September/ October) visit Touriñan in Muxia.

If you want to experience the end of the world this is as close as your going to get. When you go to any beach you see an endless expanse of water all the way to the horizon and here is no different. Yet for some reason it felt more vast. I like to imagine a roman soldier standing in my place, seeing over this ocean 2000 years ago, believing this was it, no more land. The questions and emotions said soldier would of asked and felt. Quite remarkable.

Here is the famous lighthouse where the KM 0 of the Camino de Santiago is. To come here you need to drive (1:15 min), take bus (3:00 aprox) or walk 100 kms, but the view and to take a photo of the km 0 is worth it, specially if you have done the Camino de Santiago. It gets a lot of meaning. I strongly recommend to come and visit. It’s a quick visit and maybe this place is the only thing you will see ;) but i would definitely come and visit again,

If you want to say you've been to Land's End, then definitely go. Parking is a bit difficult in summer, so be prepared to wait or park below and walk up. Nice pictures and not much more than the lighthouse and the views. No tickets necessary and parking is free. There is a little shop that sells trinkets and souvenirs. Bathrooms were clean but no paper! Tip: Wear trainers or shoes with a rubber sole. Dogs are allowed.
