🤔 BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO COSTA DA MORTE

As you can imagine, it's best to visit the north in spring or summer. But you should be prepared, because it can start raining at any time. Whenever you go, pack accordingly and enjoy!

✔ WHAT TO DO IN COSTA DA MORTE

The Costa da Morte stretches between Malpica and Fisterra. By car or bike, you'll pass through fishing villages, lighthouses that warn sailors, and beaches marked by shipwrecks. At the end of this journey, you'll reach "O fin do mondo" (The End of the World), where the known world ends and the secrets of the raging ocean begin. We recommend stopping in these towns as you explore the Atlantic coast: Muros, Malpica, Ponteceso, Camariñas, Muxía, and Fisterra.

🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE COSTA DA MORTE WITHOUT TRYING IT

Seafood is king, especially in this part of Galicia: velvet crabs, spider crabs, lobsters, and langoustines are just some of the varieties you'll love to try. The star dish is seafood salad. Other typical dishes include Galician stew, ham hock with turnip greens, and tripe.
