On the headland that cradles the town, the Hermitage of Our Lady of the Mount in Camari\u00f1as rises with an 18th-century Baroque outline \u2014a plain fa\u00e7ade and a single bell gable\u2014 framing a natural lookout over the estuary, Mux\u00eda, Camari\u00f1as and the open ocean. Here the wind carries salt\u2026 and the ring of a bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the people of Camari\u00f1as it is a house of solace: before putting to sea, many fishers entrust themselves to the Virgin of the Mount. The great feast comes on Pentecost Monday, with Masses from the early morning and the pilgrimage that was once Camari\u00f1as\u2019 most important: whole families spent the day on Monte Farelo, sharing meals after the services\u2014a tradition now being revived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devotion is tangible at the Hermitage of Our Lady of the Mount in Camari\u00f1as: ship ex-votos, lit candles and, just below the fa\u00e7ade, the rock where tradition marks the Virgin\u2019s \u201cfootprints\u201d. Come unhurried: a vast horizon, unforgettable sunsets and that quiet seafaring spirit that defines the Costa da Morte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Access: from Camari\u00f1as, follow the road towards Cape and Vil\u00e1n Lighthouse; after 1.2 km turn left, signposted to the football field and the \u201cVirxe do Monte\u201d hermitage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
