ago de Compostela. An enchanting part of Galicia, this relatively isolated and un-
spoilt shore runs from Muros, at the mouth of the Ría de Muros, round to Caión, just
before A Coruña. It's a coast of legends, like the one about villagers who put out
lamps to lure passing ships to their doom on deadly rocks. This treacherous coast
has certainly seen more than its share of shipwrecks, and the idyllic landscape can
undergo a rapid transformation when ocean mists blow in.
If you're looking for a quiet base to explore the region, consider staying in a rural
hotel. Many are listed at the very useful www.turismocostadamorte.com .
Some buses run from Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña to places on the
Costa da Morte, but having your own wheels makes it far easier. The area's sinu-
ous highways aren't the easiest to navigate, but it's a great area to explore.
