And why walking to Finisterre? Finis (End - Terre (earth), means the world's end andThe world’s end is located in a village 90 km from Santiago de Compostela, whose origins are lost in time. It was declared European Heritage Site in 2007.Nowadays, it has become the epilogue or extension of the Way of St. James.
