Muxía
Muxía is a Galician municipality known for its cliff-lined coastline, fishing heritage and exposure to the Atlantic Ocean.
Muxía is a municipality on the Costa da Morte, in the province of A Coruña (Galicia), situated at the western tip of the Barbanza peninsula and facing the Atlantic Ocean. Its coastline is characterised by cliffs, beaches and a strong maritime character.
Historically, it has been linked to fishing and seafaring, as well as forming part of the pilgrimage routes to Fisterra and Muxía. One of its best-known landmarks is the Santuario da Virxe da Barca, situated by the sea, associated with religious traditions and local legends.
The municipality suffered severe damage during the Prestige oil spill in 2002, an event that significantly affected its coastline and fishing industry. Today, it maintains its maritime activity and a growing interest from tourists drawn to its landscape and cultural heritage.
