Stone spiral created by pilgrims after completing their pilgrimage on the Camino de Costa in Spain. Finisterre was considered in pre Colombus days as the 'End of the World'. When the Romans reached Finisterre, they found the 'Ara Solis' (the altar to the sun). It was believed that at this location the Land of the Living touched the Land of the Death. Apostle Santiago eventually ordered the destruction of the altar. The memory of this altar is found in many ways in the galician culture. š Visit my shop for Camino de Santiago Art products ā Worldwide shipping http://caminoestrella.com/shop ā Worldwide shipping (exclude EU/Uk) http://etsy.com/shop/CaminoEstrella ā Worldwide shipping
