Camping As Nevedas
Spain, Galicia, A Coruña, La Coruna

Camping As Nevedas is a family-run site 15 minutes drive from Carballo. Here you will find beaches in one direction and mountains in the other. Naturally, this sort of location means easy access to all manner of outdoor activities, whether you fancy taking your bike out on forest trails, hiking along coast paths, going horse riding (in the woods or on the beach), trying your luck with your fishing rods or donning scuba tanks to go out diving. If you’re not familiar with this area, by the way, don’t let the name ‘Costa da Morte’ put you off. It gained its deathly name from the number of shipwrecks that happened along its rocky length in the past, but it’s perfectly welcoming to visitors.

Galicia

With a coastline of inlets and wide, rocky estuaries, sheltering traditional old fishing villages and fine beaches, Galicia is perhaps best known for Santiago de Compostela, the place where the famous pilgrim’s route comes to an end.

The obvious highlight in the region has to be the beautiful medieval city of Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia and the world-famous centre of the old European pilgrimage. Now a World Heritage Site, the city boasts an impressive Romanesque cathedral with more churches, convents and monasteries dotted around. One of the best times to go to Santiago de Compostela is during the Festival of St James on 25 July, which has also been designated Galicia Day. Following the route into the city are the towns of Portomarín and Samos. Near Samos, the Lóuzara valley and the Sierra do Oribio are ideal for those interested in hiking and wildlife.

The Galician coastline is characterised by high cliffs and estuaries collectively known as the Rías Atlas and Rías Baixas, with the Costa da Morte or Coast of Death separating them, so called because of the hundreds of shipwrecks that litter the cliffs and rocks. It was also once considered by the pilgrims to be the ‘end of the world’. Along the coast are medieval towns and villages, including Noia, Muros, A Coruña and Finisterre. Corcubión, Camariñas and Corme-Laxe are other rias with fishing villages and home to some of the best barnacles in the region.

This region is made up of four provinces: Ourense, Lugo, A Coruna and Pontevedra.

PLACES OF INTEREST

A Coruña: medieval quarters, Romanesque churches, Roman lighthouse.

Baiona: one of the region’s best resorts.
