ZEC Costa da Morte

The protected area extends over 11,809 hectares along the coast from Playa de Alba to Cape Finisterre, featuring cliffs, bays, and coastal dunes.

The reserve received its special conservation zone designation in December 2004, integrating into the European Natura 2000 network for biodiversity protection.

Traditional fishing communities in Malpica, Corme, Laxe, and Muxía maintain their maritime activities while respecting the conservation guidelines of the protected area.

The conservation zone includes marked trails through various landscapes, allowing visitors to observe marine birds and coastal formations while following local regulations.

Marine caves, siliceous cliffs, and large boulder formations called coídos create specific habitats for endemic species like Omphalodes littoralis gallaecica.
