An actress, creator, and proud daughter of Fisterra, Marta Lado is one of the most genuine and heartfelt voices in Galician cinema. With her deep gaze and thoughtful words, she perfectly embodies the spirit of the Costa da Morte —wild, emotional, and profoundly true. Now, as Costa da Morte Ambassador 2026, she becomes the voice that represents this land to the world, with the same passion she brought to her role in Sicixia —the film that forever connected her to the coast where she was born— and with the calm strength of someone who understands that culture is, above all, an act of love for the place we call home.
Seeing a whale emerge in front of the bow is one of those experiences that stay with you forever. It’s not just about witnessing a huge animal in its habitat — it’s about feeling the sea breathe with you and realizing that nature is offering us an unrepeatable moment. That’s why this interview with María Becerra Rodríguez, a marine biologist from CEMMA and collaborator of Buceo Finisterre, is an opportunity to dive into her experiences and discover how science, passion for the ocean, and the thrill of whale watching come together on the Costa da Morte.
