Here in the heart of the Death Coast, next to the lighthouse of Finisterre, we find The Semáforo of Finisterre, which rises to 143 meters above sea level, higher than the lighthouse itself whose height is 138 meters. Only with these data can we affirm and verify for ourselves that the views and the imposing sunsets are the maximum enjoyment of its visitors.
This building forms part of the architectural complex of the place, together with the lighthouse and the Cow of Fisterra (Finisterre). It dates from the year 1879, and its original mission, due to its imposing location by the Atlantic Ocean, was to issue signals for the navy, hence its name, since the Semaphore is a system of communication by means of flags, In which the position of the arms is used to represent each letter of the alphabet included in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) international signal code.
After its role as communication system, it spent a short space of time being a weather station. Nowadays, this building, which has been totally restored twice by the prestigious architect César Portela, is a Delicatessen Hotel, a delicate, exquisite, flirty hotel where you can please all five senses, a great showcase for lovers of Galicia, Chosen by the pilgrims of the Road of Santiago who need and want to rest in the ends of the earth.
