Travelling through A Costa da Morte East:

To explore the easternmost stretch of Costa da Morte, from the ancient whaling village of Caión to Laxe, we suggest starting the journey by taking the road connecting Carballo to Baldaio to first explore Caión. This route allows you to discover the beauty of this area along the Galician coast in all its splendor.

After Caión, make your way to the impressive Baldaio lagoon, the easternmost point of the protected natural area of Razo-Baldaio (Carballo), often hailed as the jewel of A Costa da Morte

Continue exploring the spectacular natural area of Razo-Baldaio, home to one of Galicia's most beautiful and extensive beaches, spanning almost 6 km from Baldaio in the east to Razo in the west. This paradise offers wild beaches, dunes, marshes, and a saltwater lagoon nestled among the dunes, forming an immense natural pool that captivates both children and adults alike.

To behold the beauty of this natural space in its entirety, follow the coastal road from Baldaio to Razo, a gem known to very few!

Discover the secret of the Baldaio Shoals, where a legendary submerged city, Galilea, hides in the mysterious rocky depths of the Shoals, visible from any point on Razo-Baldaio beach. Legend has it that on clear days with low tide in crystal-clear waters, you might catch a glimpse of the main staircase of Galilea's grand house, illuminated by sunlight, and hear the bells of this lost city.

Prepare to be awed by a paradise where stormy days awaken the ocean's fury, unleashing the formation of massive waves far out as they crash against the Shoals.

Razo, at the western end of the beach, has evolved from a historical Eden, nestled at the foot of a Celtic temple and facing a submerged city, to a natural surfing paradise in Europe! What more could one ask for?

From Razo, continue westward to explore one of the main fishing villages of Costa da Morte, Malpica de Bergantiños. Follow the road linking Razo to Buño, which will take you through a splendid natural balcony, Monte Neme, a magical mountain for the Celts. At the mountain's peak, there once existed a stone circle, known as 'Eira das Meigas,' and legend has it that during the nights of San Juan, coinciding with the summer solstice, the local witches (meigas) would gather there.

As you begin the descent from the mountain, you'll reach the village of Aviño, where you'll discover a beautiful wild cove, As Torradas, surrounded by charming trails immersed in the untamed nature of the 'Route of the Pines by the Sea' cycling and hiking trail.

If you prefer, you can go to Carballo, which is just a stone's throw away, 10 minutes by car, and savor the local delicacies there. Carballo is the capital of the region and the main driving force of A Costa da A Morte. Furthermore, every Thursday and the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sunday of each month there is a busy market in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where you can find fresh local products.

Once you've regained your strength, it's time to continue discovering more hidden corners of Costa da Morte. Head towards Ponteceso, and this time, we suggest taking a detour towards Cabo San Adrián to enjoy the spectacular view of the Sisargas Islands. Nearby, explore the beautiful beaches of Beo and Barizo—they're stunning!

Next, make your way to the Punta Nariga Lighthouse, one of the most imposing lighthouses in Costa da Morte. Marvel at its views in this breathtaking natural setting.

Return to the road from Malpica to Ponteceso that you temporarily left to visit the Punta Nariga Lighthouse. Continue towards Ponteceso, but before that, take a slight detour to Corme to visit O Roncudo, known for producing some of the world's best barnacles from these rocks.

On the way, you'll also get a glimpse of the beautiful Balarés beach. And if you haven't had lunch yet you will love to do it in:

Hydrangeas Pruning: Foolproof Tips for a Dream Garden!

Por VILANOVAA • 25 ene, 2024

TIPS In general, to prune hydrangeas it is best to wait until the end of winter and when there is no frost. Cut the old branches, they are the most woody, they are usually in the center of the hydrangea. Cut young branches up to half their length, they are about 3 years old. Don´t cut the suckers, they are the youngest branches, their stem usually starts from the base of the plant.

Para la terminación, 50 g de azúcar y mezclada con canela en polvo. MÉTODO Precalienta el horno a 185 ºC. Forra el molde con papel de hornear. Mezcla el azúcar con la manteca hasta integrar bien y añade los huevos uno a uno. Añade el siguiente cuando el anterior se haya integrado completamente. Añade el puré de calabaza en dos veces e integra de cada vez. Añade la harina tamizada con la levadura con una pizca de sal, alternando con la adición de nata, empezando y terminando con la harina. Vierte la harina en el molde, espolvorea azúcar con canela y hornea a 185ºC durante 15 minutos, baja la temperatura hasta 180 ºC y hornea durante 40 minutos más aproximadamente. Comprueba el punto de cocción pinchando con palillo, si sale seco, estará lista y sino dejamos unos minutos más.

Pumpkin Galician Bica: A Delicious Feast for Your Palate!

Por VILANOVAA • 20 dic, 2023

INGREDIENTS 4 Eggs. 275 g of sugar. 200 g of room-temperature cow butter. 400 g of all-purpose wheat flour or Galician wheat. 150 ml of cream. 15 g of baking powder. Pinch of salt. 300 g of drained pumpkin puree. 1/2 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon, half for the dough and the other half for the topping. For finishing, 50 g of sugar mixed with ground cinnamon. METHOD Preheat the oven to 185°C. Line the mold with parchment paper. Mix the sugar with the butter until well combined, then add the eggs one by one. Add the next one when the previous one has been fully incorporated. Add the pumpkin puree in two portions and integrate each time. Incorporate the sifted flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, alternating with the addition of cream, starting and finishing with the flour. Pour the mixture into the mold, sprinkle sugar mixed with cinnamon on top, and bake at 185°C for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for approximately 40 more minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out dry, it's ready. If not, bake for a few more minutes. Remove the "bica" from the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes, and then unmold it onto a cooling rack. To serve, allow it to cool completely. You can easily prepare PUMPKIN PUREE in the microwave: Peel, clean, and cut the pumpkin into chunks. Place the pieces in a microwave-safe dish, add a few drops of water to aid in steaming, and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. After 8 minutes, the puree should be cooked; check to ensure the pumpkin is soft. If not, give it an additional 2 or 3 minutes. Be careful when removing the plastic wrap or opening the lid because the steam will be very hot.
