Discover the rugged beauty of the Costa de la Muerte and the dramatic landscape of Cabo Finisterre on this private tour. With a knowledgeable guide, you will experience some of the most breathtaking and lesser-known sites in the region.
After a comfortable car drive from Santiago de Compostela, you will reach the Costa de la Muerte, which is aptly named "the Coast of Death" due to its dangerous rocky coastline and shipwrecks that have occurred throughout history. You will have the opportunity to explore some of the region's most picturesque fishing villages such as Muxía and Finisterre.
The area is also known for its delicious seafood, so be sure to try some of the local specialties like pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus) and percebes (goose barnacles).
Next, you will visit the famous Cabo Finisterre, which is considered the westernmost point of the European continent and was once thought to be the end of the world by the ancient Romans.
