final, noun:
end

El final means the end, like fin, but you use it in different contexts. First, to describe where something is:

at the end of the corridor

al final de esta calle

You also use it with the seasons:

Era un día frió y soleado hacia el final del invierno de 1974.

Final is the word you must use to talk about the end of a movie, play, and so on:

No vi el final de la película.
