Cape Fisterra is a natural viewpoint on the western end of the Galician peninsula, on the Costa da Morte, with a rocky platform beaten by the Atlantic and dominated by the lighthouse. The complex is located 138 meters above sea level and the lighthouse, built in 1853, is one of the best known maritime references of Galicia, with great navigation range and the famous siren nicknamed "cow of Fisterra". From here opens a wide view of the ocean, the cliffs and the coastline of Fisterra, a landscape associated for centuries to the idea of "finis terrae", the end of the known land for the Romans. It is also appreciated the symbolic value of the place as a closure of historical and pilgrim routes, very present in the Jacobean culture and in the local seafaring identity. The cape is part of the most recognizable imaginary of the Costa da Morte, a coastal strip famous for its breakers, storms and difficult navigation. The official tourist documentation presents it as the most westerly lighthouse in Europe, which reinforces its geographical and scenic interest. The visit shines especially at sunset and on clear days, when the profiles of the cape and the contrast between rock, sea and sky can be better distinguished. On days when the sea is rough or the weather is changeable, the landscape gains visual strength, although extreme caution should be exercised due to the wind and the exposure of the environment.
