Fisterra–Corcubión
Marinas in this destination have not yet been added to the catalogue.
Fisterra and Corcubión lie beside the bay east of Cape Finisterre. Fisterra retains the character of a fishing town, while pilgrims continuing beyond Santiago de Compostela add life to its waterfront. The lighthouse on the high cape is the outstanding landmark of the open ocean coast.
Closer to the head of the bay, Corcubión has stone houses, a small old centre and a maritime history. Sandy beaches and green slopes lie between the settlements. The peninsula’s open western shore and the eastern bay offer different perspectives on this part of Galicia.
