Discover the fascinating "Costa da Morte" on a journey that will take you from Malpica to Camariñas, revealing the beauty and intrigue of this unique coastline. Known for its breathtaking scenery and maritime history, the "Costa da Morte" has witnessed countless shipwrecks over the centuries, earning it its evocative name.
Accompanied by our expert guide, we will explore the stories and legends that surround this coastline, from ancient shipwrecks to tales of daring pirates. We will pass through charming fishing villages along the route, where we can immerse ourselves in the daily life of the locals and discover their centuries-old traditions.
In addition to fishing and shellfishing, we will learn about craft activities that have endured over time, such as pottery making in Buño and bobbin lace making in Camariñas, which are passed down from generation to generation by skilled craftsmen and craftswomen.
Lighthouses stand as silent guardians along the coast, providing guidance and safety to navigators. From the modern Punta Nariga Lighthouse, built in 1998 with an avant-garde design, to the historic Laxe Lighthouse, dating back to the 19th century, each lighthouse has its own story to tell.
Cape Vilán, home to one of Galicia's oldest lighthouses, is an impressive symbol of resistance against the onslaught of the Atlantic Ocean. Set amidst sheer cliffs, this lighthouse is a tribute to the bravery and skill of the ancient lighthouse builders, reminding us of the vital importance of these structures for the safety of sailors and the protection of the Galician coastline.
