More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens with a line of Atlantic wind and the steady scrape of tires along a coastal road as your private driver steers west toward Finisterre. Salt presses into the air, cliffs drop away in granite ribbons and the lighthouse sits like a final podium where land yields to ocean. This is the edge many medieval pilgrims chose as the last stop on the Camino: a place to turn garments, view the horizon and mark the journey’s end.
