Finisterre translates as ‘the end of the world’, and the Camino Finisterre, between Santiago and Cape Finisterre, is the last lap for many pilgrims to push themselves into nature as far as they possibly can go. The full name is the Camino Finisterre-Muxía or Fisterra in Galician, and it’s an official part of the Camino de Santiago, still marked by the iconic golden scallop shell (or vieira).
