The town council of Malpica de Bergantinhos is situated in the north-east of the province of Corunha, in the region of Bergantinhos. Bergantinhos is in the mythical and famous Costa da Morte which is located at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, with which it borders on its northern side and on which it has its coast from west to east, from Monte Nariga ( Mount Nariga ) to the punta de Razo ( the most westerley sandy area of Baldaio, Carballo ).Half-way along this coastal line, is the Cabo de San Adrian ( Cape of St. Adrian ), and facing it are the Sisarga Islands ( Islas Sisargas ). With a total area of 60.5 km2, and a population density of 140 inhabs/km2, its main fishing port is that of the capital, Malpica de Bergantinhos, mainley dedicated to coastal and shell-fish fishing.

On the eastern side it has its border with the area of Carballo, and at the south with Ponteceso. The features of its landscape are gentle and rounded, mainly due to the combination of water and wind erosion, which lash these areas. Two of its main peaks are Monte Neme ( 387m high) and Leutonho. The fact that it is well communicated with cities like Santiago and Corunha, both by land and sea, added to multiple attractions, allow Malpica to be thought of, and be, a growing tourist destination. The landscape and a fish and shell-fish rich gastronomy; the pottery of Buņo, the historicacal-artistic heritage which bears the trace left by Urbano Lugris; the last traces of the mediaeval age - the yowers and the Romanesque church in Mens; its eight sandy and peaceful beaches ( the only exception being Area Maior in Malpica, which has been awarded the blue flag)... are incentive enough to come and visit this part of the Atlantic.
