welcome
to the village of life on the Costa da Morte ( the coast of death).
Between the humble nobility of the clay from Bunho and the Atlantic
Ocean against the shoreline, the town council of Malpica de Bergantinhos
offers you a multitude of attractions for you to come and meet or
visit us.
Situated
in the fierce north east of Galicia, in the region of Bergantinhos,
this crag which is located in the sea, has sheltered and has given
families who are basically dedicated to fishing, shell-fishing
and agriculture, the reason to live ever since the first Cantabrian
and Basque fishermen arrived from the North following the trail
of the water released by the whale through íts spout hole.
This
is one of the reasons why, taking advantage of technological progress,
we want to show the visitor a selected sample of what they´ll
find here, with the hope that they´ll decide to come and see it
for themselves. This is possible at any time of year, as our mild
climate allows one to enjoy the sights at any time to appreciate
a rainbow following intouse rainfall, or even the fresh breeze
of a summer dawn.
We
hope these pages offer the perfect excuse so we will see each
other soon along any of the streets of any these which make up
this land of ours.Thank-you for visiting us.
José
Ramón Varela Rey
President of Malpica de Begantinhos Council
