About this spot
Faro Touriñán (Touriñán Lighthouse), located in the Galicia region of northwest Spain, is notable for being the westernmost point of mainland Spain. This rugged, scenic headland is a place of natural beauty, characterized by its dramatic cliffs, the powerful Atlantic Ocean waves crashing against the rocks, and the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit the area. The lighthouse, Faro de Touriñán, stands as a beacon for ships navigating the treacherous waters of the Costa da Morte, or "Coast of Death," named for its history of shipwrecks. The area is not only significant for its geographical extremity but also for its cultural importance to the Galician people, offering panoramic views that capture the essence of Galicia's wild and untamed coast.
