Link to the brochure of tourism in Betanzos in Spanish and in English
“…vai de morto o que non foi de vivo” or “visited in death by those who didn’t visit in life”
So says our tradition and, at least once in a lifetime, the Galicians feel obliged to go on pilgrimage to this tiny chapel on top of the highest cliffs in Continental Europe, under penalty of having to return once dead, whether as lost souls or as reptiles
An iconic spot of the magical place that is Galicia in a setting of overwhelming beauty.
The end of the world – Cape Fisterra hides the real secret of the la Costa da Morte: Wild scenery and awesome beaches. A place where a lot of pilgrims burn their clothes because this is where the land finishes.
Only here can you contemplate the sunset over the immensity of the ocean. The sea at the end of the world.
