Where to find graffiti, murals and street art in Costa da Morte?

Corme mural

Are you wondering where to find graffiti, murals, and street art in general in Costa da Morte? Well, you’re in luck because practically in all 17 municipalities that make up this territory, you will find art. Both in the form of traditional craftsmanship and more street art elements.

Costa da Morte, a region located in the northwest of Galicia, Spain, is famous for its dramatic natural beauty: cliffs plunging into the Atlantic, imposing lighthouses, deserted beaches, and rugged landscapes.

However, beyond its wild nature, Costa da Morte has also witnessed an artistic renaissance in recent years thanks to the rise of street art and murals. This phenomenon has turned several of its municipalities into open-air galleries, where creativity, local culture, and respect for tradition combine with the most innovative techniques.

There is one municipality that has not only made murals its hallmark, but also celebrates a festival every spring where many artists gather to paint live. Want to know more? Well, let’s get into the details!

This urban artist is one of the ones who has painted the most murals in Costa da Morte and also outside its borders. There are many works adorning the walls of many of our towns, such as in Baio, Malpica… When you see them, you’ll know they are his.

Especially his collection of “super grandmothers”. In these murals, the focus is always on rural women who have fought in their lives, and they are portrayed with something characteristic, but always with very human details. You can find some of these murals in Carballo, O Couto, or Muxía.

Vimianzo: more rural women and celebration

In the Praza do Concello, you will also find a tribute to rural women, while highlighting the landscape of the Soneira Valley. You will also find on the walls of this town a tribute to its “Asalto ao Castelo” festival, which is not exclusively a medieval festival but also advocates for the irmandiña identity. A fight that, somehow, continues.

Muxía, sea on land

As we mentioned earlier, here we have a super grandmother: “A ninja Claudina e a raspa dourada”. A woman who dedicated fifty years of her life to being a gooseneck barnacle fisher. A very dangerous job, and for which Claudina already has her tribute in her town.

But in the port of Muxía, we won’t just find this mural, there are many more murals related to the sea and the social struggles associated with it.

Carnota y el apostle

In the southernmost area of Costa da Morte, murals can still be found. Specifically, in the port of Portocubelo, we’ll find one that spans more than 50 metres: “Misterio y leyenda en el camino”.

This mural aspires to convey local values and the Camino de Santiago along the Coast.

Dumbría and the Vákner

Continuing with “Arte no Camiño”, in Dumbría we find the connection of the Camino de Santiago with the legend of the Vákner. This legend tells that the Vákner, a figure between man and wolf, would appear to pilgrims crossing this municipality through the forest.

Fisterra: end of the route

The Camino reaches Fisterra to see the work “Camiñantes”. This mural refers to the diversity of people who walk the Camino.

Derrubando muros con pintura and Rexenera Fest

As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, there is one municipality that has not only made murals its hallmark, but also celebrates a festival every spring where many artists gather to paint live. This municipality is Carballo, with the initiative “Derrubando muros con pintura” and the festival, “Rexenera Fest”.

Since 2013, Derrubando muros con pintura has sought to improve and beautify the town by painting walls, fences, buildings, and regenerating deteriorated spaces.

Every spring, the Rexenera Fest takes place, a festival full of activities where internationally renowned artists are invited to create their works in large formats. Their art stays, breathing life into the town for the years to come.

Something that characterises the urban art scene of Costa da Morte is the collaboration between local and international artists. Each mural or artistic intervention usually has a story behind it. Most of these projects are born from cooperation between public entities and artists.

The murals and street art of Costa da Morte offer a new perspective on this Galician region, allowing visitors and locals to discover not only its natural and cultural beauty but also its creativity and spirit.

Through the murals, artists tell stories of marine life, the Jacobean tradition, and love for the land and the sea, creating an open-air art gallery that is part of the landscape itself. If you have the opportunity to visit this region, don’t forget to explore its streets, where every corner tells a unique visual story, reflecting the identity of Costa da Morte.

In this article, we have highlighted some examples, but across the territory, you will find many more.

If you visit any of these murals and decide to upload a photo to Instagram, don’t hesitate to tag us on our account @visitacostadamorte . We hope you enjoy the experience!
