Fisterra, Galicia
Details
At the edge of the world, where the land greets the ocean with a granite embrace, stands Monte do Facho in Fisterra. A place where the whispers of history mix with the Atlantic wind and the clouds dance over a landscape that breathes ancient legends. Since time immemorial, this mountain has been a natural beacon for sailors, a silent watchman that has witnessed thousands of voyages. Its 240 metres in height are like a stone giant that protects the coast, keeping secrets of sailors, pilgrims and ancestral peoples. Before modern lighthouses illuminated these rugged coasts, the inhabitants lit bonfires on its summit. These "fachos" were more than fire: they were signs of life, of hope, of survival. They communicated dangers, guided ships and kept alive the connection between the land and the infinite sea. The ancient stones that populate its slope are silent witnesses of rituals, of the passage of civilizations. Here, every rock tells a story, every stone is a chapter of Galician memory, a whisper of the times that were.Services
