Making history on the Costa da Morte

With regard to the tourist industry within Spain, Northern Spain, especially Galicia especially have been very much a hidden treasure and hidden within lies a further particular treasure called Costa da Morte. Of all the autonomous regions of Spain, Galicia is considered the most remote and therein lies the charm of the Costa da Morte hidden desire to be discovered.

Galicia has always been viewed as a poor rural region, whose economy depended on agriculture and fishing and did not lend itself to the modernization and yet, in terms of tourism, it is this constant contact with the past that gives the region its appeal and charm.

The Galician people are proud of their culture and their language and their Celtic heritage is what makes them unique (they feel) within modern Spain.

Galicia always seemed to be very closed and locked, which is fiercely opposed to any formal external invasion and in many ways this degree of isolation is driven by the geographic location of the region.

In what has been a mountain to climb slowly but surely Galicia is now trying to control the dual track of its regional lifestyle with a much more modern society and thankfully this appears to have had very positive results with regard to tourism, with little sign of negative effects ..

Located between Cabo San Adrian near Malpica in the North and Cape Finisterre, in the southwest lies the Costa da Morte which as expected results almost in the "Coast of Death" so names by the large number of shipwrecks that had been shattered in the rugged coastline and is also found in the sea.

How much of this is reality and how much is embellished fantasy it does not matter, as they say, why let the truth in the way of a good story.

That is the inescapable fact that the coast is very wild, windswept and rugged. He has a sad face and threatening him and is a series of stone crosses, "and also gigantic" borreos "which tend to add a degree of solemnity bordering on the morbid to it.

However, said there is more than the Costa da Morte than just wild rugged scenery and great Celtic crosses.

The first stop on the coast while traveling south of La Coruna is Malpica, which has been described as a large friendly fishing town with which, depending on the day of arrival may or may not be flooded Gulls aplenty!

Next further down the coast is Corme. The city can be reached by a small side street off the main road from the coast and is located in a small gentle bay that is used for farming and shellfish farming.

Further down the coast are the towns Corme Ponteceso, Muxía and Camari and real proof that there is more to do on the Costa da Morte, which initially might think.

There is more to do in the Costa da Morte, which initially might think and is definitely an interesting part of any visit to Galicia.
