Cabo Fisterra - The End of the Earth
Last year, Sema and I took a trip across Galicia; a wonderful trip filled with amazing sights and really great food and wine. One of the many highlights was going to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Many people believe their pilgramage ends once you reach the Cathedral; however, it does not. Ninty kilometers away at Cabo Fisterra is one end of the journey. Here, at the “end of the earth” you burn your clothes and meditate at the bronzed boots stuck on the rocks, at the cross on the cliff, at the spectacular scene of the endless ocean into the distance. A really incredible place. Some pilgrims continue on to Muxia, which is a day's walk away, and another end of the pilgramage.
Cape Finisterre (Galician: Cabo Fisterra) is a rock-bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. In Roman times it was believed to be the end of the known world. The name Finisterre, like that of Finistère in France, derives from the Latin finis terrae, meaning "end of the earth". It is sometimes said to be the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. However, Cabo da Roca in Portugal is about 16.5 kilometres (10.3 mi) further west and thus the westernmost point of continental Europe.
Monte Facho is the name of the mountain on Cape Finisterre, which has a peak that is 238 metres (781 ft) above sea level. A prominent lighthouse is at the top of Monte Facho. The seaside town of Fisterra is nearby.
The Artabri were an ancient Gallaecian Celtic tribe that once inhabited the area.
Cape Finisterre has some spectacular beaches, including O Rostro, Arnela, Mar de Fora, Langosteira, Riveira, and Corbeiro. Many of the beaches are framed by steep cliffs leading down to the Mare Tenebrosum (or dark sea, the name of the Atlantic in the Middle Ages).
There are several rocks in this area associated with religious legends, such as the "holy stones", the "stained wine stones", the "stone chair", and the tomb of the Celtic crone-goddess Orcabella.
Cape Finisterre is the final destination for many pilgrims on the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Cape Finisterre is about a 90-km walk from Santiago de Compostela. It is a tradition for pilgrims to burn their clothes or boots at the end of their journey at Cape Finisterre.
The origin of the pilgrimage to Finisterre is not certain. However, it is believed to date from pre-Christian times and was possibly associated with Finisterre's status as the "edge of the world". The tradition continued in medieval times, when "hospitals" were established to cater to pilgrims along the route from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre.
I post this video rather than some pictures I took as I really like the video and the music that accompanies it. As you watch the video, look for the shell which marks “the way”, fo the boot on the rock, for the cross down the cliff, for the fire pit where you burn your clothes, the lighthouse, the spectacular scenes. Enjoy….we sure did.
