Finisterre means the end of the world and so was considered by different cultures in ancient times, still believed that the earth was flat. This point, where is located the well-known Cape Finisterre , is the most western one to where pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago can arrive. They burned their clothes on the cliff and throwt their ashes into the sea as a symbol of purification.

The drive journey to Costa da Morte is the most suitable way to enjoy the magnificent views of the area . Before arriving at Faro Finisterre is a turnoff to the right that leads to Mount Facho, which houses the chapel of San Guillermo , related to beliefs about fertility. On the outskirts of this city stands the Church of Santa María das Areas , Romanesque style. This parish church houses Cristo dos Barbas Douradas , by which professes great devotion. Between Finisterre and Cabo da Nave it is the wild beach Mar de Fora , and open to the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by sharp cliffs. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of the coast.

A bit more to the south of Finisterre, we find a fishing village in the municipality of Dumbría O Ézaro , which houses a waterfall which has the distinction of being the only one in Europe that flows directly into the sea . It is recommended go and see it in winter as its volume rises as a result of heavy rains that increase its power and beauty.

Can not help but mention the seafood cuisine that is abundant in this Galician coast’s area. Finisterre is the realm of seafood and fish: barnacles, lobsters, scallops, clams, razor clams, cockles, sea bass … are some of the endless list of marine products that may be tested in these lands. Beef product is also of extreme quality, hence the famous Galician beef.

The Millennium trilogy written by Stieg Larsson has given much to talk about since it hit the bookshelves, creating controversy because of the author’s sudden death and engaging millions of readers. With their Swedish film adaptations and by the great David Fincher in Hollywood, there are many things to know about this intriguing story located in Sweden and many cool places to visit.

1 Stockholm. The first place we know in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". A location with many attractions where we would not know where to begin ... try to stop by the financial district and remember the first steps of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander and do not forget to stop by Södermalm, the island where our hero has his home and the writer himself had it too.

2 Hedestat not exist, do not bother to look for it. In the film directed by Niels Arden Oplev, the small town of Gnesta does the part and it is probably the best alternative.

3 The bucolic coast of Bohuslän. Light and ethereal melancholy landscapes take us to the world of Ingmar Bergman and Stieg Larsson. A beautiful hazy set of wooden houses and violent waters where fishermen catch salmon. Once you've been there you will find it hard to imagine it as the home of serial murderers and Nazis.

4. Millennium exhibition at the Stockholm City Museum. Although plenty of people are visiting it, it is a small exhibition. "The Dark Side" is also a good alternative if you want more, studying the city’s dangerous criminal life.

5 It is said that "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest" is not his latest book. Anyway, the hospitalization of Lisbeth and the trail remain a difficult tension to overcome. But we do not want to recommend anyone to visit a hospital, have a drink instead at Kvarnen or sip a coffee in Mellqvist to finish your tour.

The Stockholm Vasa Museum could be a good metaphor of what has happened today in Spain: a country that is sinking as a result of having failed to take care of what matters, how to sustain itself. The Vasa warship did not even manage to make it out of port. Loaded with 700 sculptures, 64 canons, 300 soldiers and 130 sailors prepared for their first voyage to dominate the Baltic Sea on 10 August, 1628. And it wasn’t even necessary to fire one shot at them, not even cross paths. The wind battered its sails just a few metres from the port and it slowly began to sink in full sight of the people and King Gustavus Adolphus II who had commissioned its construction. 333 years later, she was found intact submerged in the mud, still blushing from the insults of all the enemies of Sweden and the anger it arose in the Royal Family. She now rests in the same place as from where she started out, in the port of Smörland, and is the only conserved warship from the 17th Century and the perfect excuse to get to know the Scandinavian capital. In Piedra de Toque we take a trip to Stockholm to discover the other face of different European capitals with My Vueling City.

Stockholm is a city divided into thirds: one third fresh-water, one third sea and another third city. Made up of 14 islands it has more than 100 museums and among these is the highlight, the Vasa: constructed to dominate the Baltic and sunk beneath its own weight the same day as its launch.
