Antiquity: Over the time, the passage of different cultures gave way to different cultural manifestations. The cult of stone is a characteristic of the Costa da Morte, where there are different rituals associated with this element, such as a pedra de abalar, a pedra dos cadrís, a pedra fertilizante de Duío... There are cases of stones that were used as a support for a Christian crucifix that are still under study today. Around the famous and symbolic Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Barca, the rocks form a transcendent part of the context. This reality is not dissonant with the many samples of megalithic culture that can be visited, like the significant dolmen of Dombate (Cabana de Bergantiños) or the archaeological open-air museum of Carnota.

Historical heritage: We can not miss the Pazo das Torres do Allo (Zas) or the beautiful 13th-century Castelo de Vimianzo, exceptionally well preserved and also home of a dynamic museum, displaying objects of local crafts. Among the different villages on this coast, we can highlight the civil architecture of Corcubión, as well as the charm of the fishing villages of Muxía, Laxe with its Sea Museum, Corme in Ponteceso or Camelle, with the Museum of the German, in Camariñas.  The civil architecture in the village of Malpica is remarkable too, facing Sisargas islands, or Caión, a small peninsula with a curious port and an extraordinary view, which faithfully reproduce the idea of Galician northwest coast villa.The lighthouses are undoubtedly one of the most characteristic heritage elements of this coast. The route of the Lighthouses offers a leisure alternative that allows you to visit each of the existing lighthouses between Malpica and Fisterra, among which we highlight Punta Nariga in Malpica, Touriñán in Muxía, Vilán in Camariñas or the famous Fisterra Lighthouse. The ethnographic heritage has as main protagonist in the Costa da Morte the hórreos, among which we must highlight the Hórreos of Lira and Carnota, as the most visited due to their size. The impressive Sanctuary of San Xiao de Moraime in Muxía, with its medieval paintings that make it unique, the Monastery of San Pedro de Soandres in A Laracha or the Dolmen of Dombate with the Route of the Dolmens of the Costa da Morte are also places of destination that will not leave indifferent the person who visits them. 

Traditions: We must not forget the value of craftsmanship and handicraft, represented in a fantastic way by the pottery of Buño, in the linen thread of Baio, which enjoys its museum, and in the bobbin lace of Camariñas, where one can see the results of the inheritance of techniques over the centuries and how they are rooted among specific sectors of the local population.
