The word \"Finisterre\" in Latin means \"end of the earth\", reflecting the belief that this point on the Atlantic coast of Galicia, Spain, was the limit of the known world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"historia_y_significado\"><\/span>History and significance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For pilgrims who choose to continue their pilgrimage, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/en\/5-reasons-to-do-the-camino-de-santiago-as-a-school-trip\/\">journey beyond Santiago<\/a>Finisterre represents a new beginning or a spiritual culmination. The tradition of burning the clothes used on the journey symbolised the shedding of the past and rebirth.

This document that receives the name of \"Fisterrana\" was created by the City Council of Fisterra in 1997. To get it, pilgrims must get stamps on their pilgrim's credential in the last 100 kilometres of the way and also in Finisterre. You can get stamps in hostels, parishes, churches or in any place representative of the Camino. On your arrival in Fisterra, you can pick up your \"Fisterrana\" at the hostel in Fisterra.<br \/>\nThis document is a testimony of their effort and dedication, a tangible proof of their unique experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"el_encanto_del_camino_a_finisterre\"><\/span>The charm of the Way to Finisterre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Camino to Finisterre offers a different experience compared to the main route to Santiago.
