코스타 다 모르테 최고의 사이클링 경로

Caión에서 가장 유명한 것은 기적의 성모이고, 가장 많은 사람들이 방문하는 곳은 해변이지만, 전망대에 잠시 들르는 것도 좋은 생각입니다.

A memorial and a very beautiful memory.

A place that exudes incredible energy!!

The monument, also known as the Muxia Monument, commemorates a tanker accident. Through the gap in the work of art you can see the wide sea. The rough but beautiful landscape with the strong surf reveals why this area is called the Death Coast (Galician: Costa da Morte, Galician, Spanish: Costa de la Muerte). Here is a final stone of the Way of St. James (km 0.000).

On November 13, 2002, off the coast of northern Spain, one of the world's greatest environmental disasters occurred: The tanker "Prestige", 77,000 tons of heavy fuel oil on board, reported a leak in the hull over the radio, was towed out to sea and broke up there. Thousands of tons of the highly toxic heavy oil pour into the sea - and a short time later spill onto the beaches.

This memorial to commemorate a serious tanker accident in 2002 can also be found here in the system under the name "Piedra a Ferida". The crack in the stone is symbolic of the bursting of the tanker, which led to a very large environmental disaster.

The pilgrimage church of A Virxe da Barca (Our Lady of the Boat) is located at the tip of the Muxia peninsula. According to legend, the Virgin Mary landed on a ship at this spot to assist Saint James in converting people to Christianity. A sanctuary stood here as early as the Middle Ages, and was rebuilt in the 17th century. The Gothic image of the Virgin dates back to the 14th century.

The monument (400 tons heavy and 11 m high) commemorates the terrible tanker accident of the "Prestige", which broke up off the coast in November 2002 and triggered one of the worst environmental catastrophes. The damage to nature and the environment was only repaired after 10 years.
