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.
Imagine being in a small boat off Fisterra, surrounded by the Atlantic, when suddenly a huge whale emerges a few meters away, raising a wave with its fin. The emotion is indescribable, the heart beats faster, and the silence is broken by a collective sigh of amazement. That’s what those who participate in whale watching on the Costa da Morte feel, an experience that combines adventure, responsible tourism and the privilege of contemplating marine life in its purest state.
