Sagres has been considered Sacred since the Celts. Its name derives from Latin “Sacrum” – Sacred. It is the place where land ends and the sea begins. At the tip of Portugal’s southwestern coast, Continental Europe does not get any deeper than this into the Atlantic Ocean.
With its pure Atlantic waters, almost untouched by human pollution, with its strong oceanic currents and powerful waves crashing against the rocky coastline, the Sea of Sagres is Finisterra´s chosen location to farm mussels offshore; a species that is autochthonous to this region since the dawn of times. These are the fundamental reasons why we decided to settle Finisterra in Sagres ten years ago, in November 2010.
