The Costa da Morte occupies the northwest of the Galician coastline, extending for tens of kilometers, within the boundaries of the province of A Coruña. The personality of this region is marked by its condition as the western limit of Europe. Since ancient times, people considered this place as the Finisterrae, the end of the world, the door to the beyond. After their arrival in this place, the Romans witnessed and reported the spectacle of the sun plunging into the Atlantic Ocean.
