WHAT DOES CAPE FINISTERRE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cape Finisterre

Cape Finisterre

Cape Finisterre is a rock-bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. Cape Finisterre is sometimes said to be the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. However, this is not true, since Cabo da Roca in Portugal is about 16.5 kilometres further west and thus the westernmost point of continental Europe. The name of Cape Finisterre, like that of Finistère in France, derives from the Latin finis terrae, meaning "end of the earth". Monte Facho is the name of the mountain on Cape Finisterre, which has a peak that is 238 metres above sea level. A prominent lighthouse is at the top of Monte Facho. The seaside town of Fisterra is nearby.
