This year, CMAT – Costa da Morte Tourism Association is expanding its tourism development initiatives by organising a programme of eight guided experiences in the days leading up to the 6th Costa da Morte Tourism Meeting, scheduled for Tuesday 17 November at the Parador Costa da Morte in Muxía.
The programme, taking place over the weekend of 13, 14 and 15 November, aims to offer new opportunities to discover and experience the area from different perspectives, introducing local residents and visitors to some of its most distinctive attractions with the guidance of professionals and experts in nature, heritage, seafaring culture, crafts and astrotourism.
This programme will precede the 6th Costa da Morte Tourism Meeting on Tuesday 17 November at the Parador Costa da Morte (Muxía), funded by the Galician Tourism Agency and supported by A Coruña Provincial Council. The meeting will bring together institutional representatives, tourism professionals and organisations connected to tourism to share the work carried out and discuss the destination’s future challenges. During the meeting, journalist Xosé Ameixeiras will receive the 4th Costa da Morte Ambassador Award, and social inclusion organisations working in the area will receive a collective tribute.
