Muxía, Coastal municipality in A Coruña, Spain

The municipality of Muxía extends along the Atlantic coast of Galicia, featuring rocky shores and sandy beaches next to traditional stone buildings and narrow streets.

The town underwent significant changes during the reign of Alfonso VII after Norman pirates destroyed the settlement in 1105, leading to the restoration of its monastery.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Boat stands as a religious center where pilgrims conclude their journey after visiting Santiago de Compostela's shrine.

The municipality provides bus connections to neighboring towns, while local establishments serve fresh seafood caught by the fishing fleet based in the harbor.

Large stones known as 'pedra de abalar' remain on the coastline, where they served as tools for determining innocence or guilt in criminal cases.
