Mirador de As Paxareiras

The first stop is an invitation to open your eyes. The viewpoint of Mount Paxareiras offers a wide view over the estuary of Muros and Noia, where the sea enters the land with Atlantic softness. From here you understand the complexity of the Galician landscape: green hills descending towards the water, small sheltered beaches and villages that seem to lean on the slope. It is the perfect place to take perspective (geographical and emotional) before continuing to the more open coast.

Fervenza de Ezaro

The next landmark is a rare natural spectacle in Europe: the Ézaro waterfall. The Xallas River, after traversing the Galician interior, rushes directly over the ocean in a powerful fall that breaks against the granite rock. The environment, with intense gray and green tones, creates an almost theatrical scene where water is the absolute protagonist. The visit allows you to approach the base of the waterfall and feel the energy of the place, especially when the flow is generous.

Corcubión (pass by)

We circulate glued to the coast of the estuary of Corcubion, famous once for being shelter of ships during the storms. We also cross the villages of Cee and Corcubión, full of whaling history and trade with the Republic of Venice

Faro de Fisterra

The journey continues to the mythical Cape of Fisterra, for centuries considered the “end of the world”. Here the Atlantic unfolds without limits and the horizon seems infinite. The lighthouse, erected in the 19th century, guards the cliffs and has become a symbol for both navigators and pilgrims who prolong the Camino de Santiago to this end point. The wind, changing light and constant sound of the sea make the stop an intense and memorable experience.

Fisterra

At the foot of the cape is the village of Fisterra, a seaport with a marked identity. Its narrow streets, fish market and boats remind us that here the sea is not landscape, but way of life. The tour includes free time to stroll through the city centre and enjoy local cuisine, where seafood and fresh fish occupy the centre of the table. It is a time to relax and taste the Atlantic essence calmly.

Muxia

In the afternoon, the route leads to Muxía, where the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Boat is perched in front of the ocean in an overwhelming enclave. According to tradition, the Virgin arrived here in a stone boat to encourage the apostle James in his preaching. The rock formations surrounding the temple feed the legend and add a symbolic dimension to the landscape. The contrast between the sober architecture of the sanctuary and the force of the sea creates an atmosphere of natural recollection and grandeur.

Camarinas (pass by)

We are bordering the entire river of Camariñas with beautiful landscapes and also cross the village of Camariñas, famous for its lace and history of shipwrecks

Faro De Cabo Vilan - Camarinas

The last stop is Cape Vilan, one of the most spectacular and rugged points on the Costa da Morte. Its lighthouse, a pioneer in the use of electricity in Spain, rises on steep cliffs that descend into an indomitable ocean. The maritime history of the area, marked by shipwrecks and the constant need for guidance, is clearly visible here. It is a resounding closure to the day, with open views and a sense of extreme territory.
