Cape Finisterre

Cape Finisterre, Spain (Cabo Finisterre), literally Cape Land's End, is a rock-bound peninsula in the north-west of Spain. At Cape Finisterre in 1747 during the War of the Austrian Succession, the English won a naval battle against the French; and again in 1805, in the Napoleonic Wars.
