What is spectacular about this 40m drop waterfall is that it flows directly into the sea.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>climb up to the Fisterra lighthouse or Finisterre, a mystical place: the end of the Roman earth.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>visit the village of Fisterra. Among its treasures, there is a stronghold that contains a valuable Fishing Museum.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>on your way to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Barca, stop by the viewpoint of Monte Facho de Lourido.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>when you visit the Sanctuary, you will discover that besides being a religious space, it is a beautiful wild area, where the power of the sea relentlessly beats against the rocks. At the top, you will find the Ferida (wound), a monument in memory of the damage caused by the Prestixe in these lands.
