The tour to Finisterre bears a geographical and historical meaning that makes it a ritual for those who visit Galicia. It also offers a series of scenic and monumental surprises. Traveling to the East of the Galicia region, you will visit Noia, a beautiful fishing town, with Romanesque churches such as, Santa Maria a Nova, San Martino and San Francisco. As you traverse the 14th Century Pontenafonso Bridge, you will arrive at Muros, a typical small manor town, situated at the mouth of the Estuary and declared as historical-artistic center. The tour will then continue to Carnota, known for having Galicia's longest beach and largest stone granary. Enjoy a three-course lunch with a variety of the local flavors, before heading to Finisterre, a typical and original small town situated on the "Promontorium Nerium". Admire the Romanesque church from the 12th Century, Christ of the golden beard, the Port and Beach. At Cape Finisterre, admire impressive views over the Atlantic Ocean from the lighthouse as your guide tells of the mysterious legends of shipwrecks and this notoriously named Coast of the Death. The high mountains that run down to the sea are dotted with extraordinarily beautiful villages that seem to hang right from the mountains themselves. The estuaries are small here, with villages scattered along the shoreline, sheltered from the winter storms by cliffs and mountains. |
