Sunset en Finistère : An Awesome Scene

Puesta de sol- en- Finisterre
by Pilar López

Latin name Finisterrae, which literally means "Land's End". Cape Finisterre is a rock-bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. Monte Facho is the name of the mountain on Cape Finisterre, which has a peak that is 238 meters above sea level. A prominent lighthouse is at the top of Monte Facho. The seaside town of Fisterra is nearby. The sight of sunset looks calm and beautiful.

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.
