Your expert guide shares captivating stories about the region's maritime history, spiritual traditions, and connection to the famous Camino de Santiago. The Costa da Morte, or "Coast of Death", earned its name from treacherous rocks and dramatic shipwreck history that your guide will bring to life through local tales and legends.
