Portocubelo, Lira.
“Portocubelo, minimum shelter against the fury of the Atlantic, welcomes our accommodations a few steps from the port.
The port is located next to the largest beach in Galicia, at the southern end of the Costa da Morte. To the north we can find the estuaries of Cee, Fisterra and Lires; the capes of Fisterra, Touriñán and the Vilán, and countless beaches and fishing villages that preserve the essence of our land and our people. And to the south Lariño, Ancoradoiro and Monte Louro, with its lagoon. Also the estuary of Muros and the monumental town of Noia.
Such a place imprints character. That of the brave sailors of that wild sea and the land where the sun dies every sunset. An ancestral lineage of navigators left its mark here, and not only on the written stones of our mountains.”
Carnota
Already the root of our toponym gives an idea about our character. Carn means piedar in Scottish Gaelic. The stones constitute our primary identity, and Celtic migrations survive in the character, language and way of life of our people.
Here you will find one of the largest and best preserved hórreos in the world, and the longest and most majestic beach in all of Galicia.
O Pindo
The mountain that guards everything is a stone’s throw from Portocubela. The so-called “Celtic Olympus” allows an affordable ascent to all audiences and an incomparable view of the Sea of Fisterra and the end of the world.
Finis Terrae and A Costa da Morte
“The lighthouses of Fisterra, Touriñán and Vilán watch this wild coast without respite. You can travel it in your vehicle or following the Route of
the Lighthouses. A magical land that has marked for centuries the end of the known world. The end of the earth for the Romans, and surely the fate of an initiatory route long ago.”
