Panoramic Costa da Morte & Cape Finisterre

Discover a Picturesque Coast with a Fascinating History Take in the Costa da Morte (Death Coast), with its unspoiled nature, beautiful beaches and sheltered villages. Stop at Muxía, dedicated to the Virxe da Barca (Virgin of the Boat). Visit her sanctuary, Nosa Señora da Barca, overlooking the often-rough seas (calm on some days, furious on others); the coast is named for the tragic fact that hundreds of ships have run aground on its rocky shores. Continuing along the coast, enjoy impressive vistas until you reach Finisterre, the medieval “end of the earth.” A lighthouse overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is positioned on the Monte Facho promontory, at the tip of Cape Finisterre. The area is also connected to the Way of St. James; after arriving in Santiago de Compostela, pilgrims ended their journey in Finisterre. Enjoy a traditional lunch in Finisterre before returning to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
