Visit Finisterre in Spain

This beautiful part of the country—Finisterre—means “end of the earth.” That’s because this incredible city is surrounded by water. What’s so special about this place? If you mean, what’s so special besides incredible sights and almost perfect landscapes?

Finisterre is known for incredible sights, perfect landscapes, and great beaches.

Well, for instance, there is a unique variety of beaches. If you want to chill and relax with your family, you may head to Playa del Talón, which has quiet and calm waters.

But if you are into surfing or other water sports, the best option is Playa del Mar de Forá. This beach is known for its fierce water, and it’s not recommended for families with little kids, but it’s perfect if you’re adventure-traveling with friends.

While there, you will want to try some fresh seafood at O’centolo. But be sure your wallet is full because this excellent restaurant is known for having pricey meals.

One of the best ways to experience Finisterre’s majesty is by taking a short walking trip from nearby Santiago de Compostela. With stunning views of the Galician countryside and Atlantic coastline, this hike can be done in just six days. Experienced tour operator Follow the Camino can manage your accommodation and luggage transfers every step of the way.

Visit Albarracín in Spain

If you’re more into hiking or biking, you will love Albarracín. Albarracín is located about 3,878 feet (1,182 meters) up in the mountains, and it’s a small city with only about a thousand people.

Apart from being a very small city that is quiet and relaxing, it also has an incredible history. The old town is surrounded by a giant wall that’s more than a thousand years old.

Albarracín Wall in Spain is more than 1,000 years old.

Look at the picture. No, it’s not the Great Wall of China. It’s the Cool and Trendy Albarracín Wall. It is not actually named like that, but we think it should be.

You might want to try out some jamón (ham) when climbing up those beautiful hills. Albarracín is known for making the tastiest, but pricy, jamón of the world.
