Pikes on Cliffs is the name of a small rural house, located on the most northern coast of Estaca de Bares in Spain. The small construction includes a blacksmith shop and a well.

According to the legend, this is the place where Irish sailor William Simms lived in the 16th century. Simms was able to reach the coast after he was condemned to die by drowning by Sir Francis Drake. The legend says that every year, at the beginning of spring, his spirit can be seen on a rock from which he hopes to see the pikes that gave him fortune.
