What to see and do at Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte
Carballo
Carballo is a magnificent gateway to the Costa da Morte and a great starting point for an Easter getaway. Its commercial energy, urban atmosphere and proximity to some of the most attractive coastal landscapes in the northern part of the region make it a very convenient option for staying overnight or stopping along the way. At this time of year, it is especially appealing to combine the town’s lively feel with a trip out to the sea.
One of the most recommended plans in Carballo is to head to the coast and enjoy places such as Razo, Baldaio or Pedra do Sal, perfect for walking, breathing in the Atlantic air and discovering one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the region. It is a very rewarding municipality for those looking for nature, beach and services all in the same getaway.
A Laracha
In A Laracha, Easter can be enjoyed between inland and coast, with calm and very pleasant plans for anyone who wants to discover another side of the Costa da Morte. It is a municipality that combines proximity to urban centres with the charm of its seafront, making it ideal for an unhurried visit with a strong local flavour.
If there is one place that especially stands out at this time of year, it is Caión, a fishing village with plenty of personality, perfect for walking by the sea, taking in the coastline and sitting down to enjoy the local cuisine. In addition, for those who prefer a plan more closely linked to nature and relaxation, the surroundings of the Gabenlle Recreational Area are another very pleasant option for completing a spring visit to the municipality.
Malpica de Bergantiños
Malpica is one of the great classics for spending Easter on the Costa da Morte. Its harbour, seafaring essence and the power of its Atlantic landscape make it an ever-tempting stop. Here, the sea is part of everything: the views, the atmosphere and the food as well.
During these days it is well worth strolling through the town, heading down to the harbour and enjoying the coastal scenery. It is also a great time to discover the area of the Sisargas Islands from the mainland and explore the coastline at leisure, letting yourself be carried away by one of the most genuine images of the Galician shore.
Ponteceso
Ponteceso offers a very attractive combination of tradition, landscape and connection to the estuary at Easter. This municipality allows visitors to enjoy both the religious atmosphere typical of these dates and natural corners and charming walks, making it a very complete stop on a Costa da Morte route.
In the parish of Corme, there will also be a notable religious programme during Easter 2026, with events such as Venres das Dores on 27 March at 8:00 p.m., Palm Sunday on 29 March at 11:00 a.m., Holy Thursday on 2 April at 8:00 p.m., Good Friday on 3 April at 8:30 p.m., the Easter Vigil on 4 April at 8:00 p.m. and Easter Sunday on 5 April at 11:00 a.m., as well as the septenary of the Virxe das Dores from 20 March. To complete the getaway, it is also highly recommended to visit the A Saimia Walk, in the parish of Anllóns, a beautiful riverside setting with a waterfall and mills, ideal for a peaceful riverside stroll in the heart of nature.
Cabana de Bergantiños
To speak of Cabana de Bergantiños is to speak of one of Galicia’s great heritage landmarks. At Easter, this municipality is perfect for those who want to combine nature, history and a culturally significant visit as part of their getaway. It is one of those stops that add depth to the journey.
The great must-see is the Dombate Dolmen, one of the most important megalithic monuments in Galicia. Completing the visit with the landscape of the estuary and a walk around the municipality makes Cabana an excellent option for those looking for more than just the sea during Easter.
Laxe
Easter 2026 in Laxe arrives with a very appealing proposal for those looking to combine tradition, culture and the sea in a single getaway. During those days, this municipality offers a special programme that goes beyond religious events and turns the town into an especially interesting place to spend several days at leisure, enjoying both the local atmosphere and its cultural activities.
From 27 March to 5 April, Laxe adds plans such as the opening of an art exhibition, open days at the Museo do Mar, the presentation of the book A Semana Santa en Laxe: 288 anos de devoción popular, a talk on the solar eclipse of 12 August 2026, a lecture on the Catalan industrial promoters in Laxe, another on the scientific legacy of Isidro Parga Pondal and a piano concert by Cristián Leggiero. Added to this are the museum’s special opening hours, which reinforce the municipality’s cultural profile during Easter.
Beyond the events, Laxe remains one of those destinations that is always inviting in spring. Its large urban beach, the walk through the town, its seafaring atmosphere and the proximity of such recognisable places as the lighthouse and viewpoints make this municipality a very complete stop during Easter on the Costa da Morte.
Coristanco
Coristanco brings to Easter a more inland, more rural and more peaceful Costa da Morte. It is an ideal municipality for those who want to step away from the bustle and discover a Galicia of landscape, tradition and calm. Its appeal lies less in major events and more in the enjoyment of the territory itself.
Here, the plan is to explore the municipality without rushing, let yourself be surprised by its scenery and enjoy a quieter getaway. Coristanco works very well as a special place within a Bergantiños route and as a stop to savour the region’s most serene side.
Zas
In the case of Zas, the standout proposal for Easter 2026 is one of the great heritage treasures of the Costa da Morte: the Torres do Allo. They will remain open from 28 March to 5 April, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with guided tours at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
In addition to this essential visit, Zas is an excellent option for those who want to discover the inland Costa da Morte through some of its many trails. Among them, the Ruta da Auga and the Río Grande route stand out, perfect for walking at leisure, enjoying the landscape and completing a day that combines heritage, nature and tranquillity.
Vimianzo
Vimianzo is another of the great names when speaking about heritage on the Costa da Morte. At Easter, this municipality is especially enjoyable thanks to its ability to combine history, culture and inland scenery, with a very recognisable character and a visit that is always worthwhile.
The great symbol of the municipality is the Castle of Vimianzo, but the proposal goes much further. Vimianzo also has a wide commercial offer and its well-known Thursday market, a great opportunity to discover the local atmosphere and find produce from the orchards, fish, fashion and much more. Added to this are attractive plans such as visiting the Penedos de Pasarela or discovering the municipality’s rich megalithic heritage, which makes the visit a very complete experience.
Camariñas
Camariñas will be one of the main focal points of Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte, and it will be so for two reasons. On the one hand, because of the celebration of the 35th Lace Fair, from 1 to 5 April, one of the most important craft events in all of Galicia. On the other, because of the power of its landscape, with places as impressive as Reira and Vilán Lighthouse, one of the wildest, most beautiful and most thrilling areas of the whole Costa da Morte.
If you visit Camariñas at this time, there is one plan that never fails: exploring the area of Reira and heading to the majestic Vilán Lighthouse, which reigns over one of the most beautiful routes on the Costa da Morte. Cliffs, open sea, Atlantic winds and a sense of immensity that is hard to explain make this spot an essential visit for any lover of nature and dramatic scenery.
What is more, the Camariñas Lace Fair turns the municipality into a unique place during Easter. It is not just a fair: it is a major showcase of craft and creative talent, with a fashion catwalk that stands out for its shows by top designers and for the prestigious young designers’ competition, in which more than 20 promising young Spanish fashion talents will present their creations. It is a truly unique event in the whole of Spain, and if you like fashion, design and craftsmanship, you should not miss it.
Muxía
Muxía is one of the most special places on the Costa da Morte for an Easter getaway and, in 2026, it also adds one of the most tempting gastronomic and festive plans of those days: the 28th Conger Festival, which will take place from 3 to 5 April. The town will be full of atmosphere with conger tasting, street bands, music and social dancing, making it a perfect draw for those who want to enjoy the destination through its cuisine and through the popular atmosphere so characteristic of fishing villages.
But visiting Muxía at Easter also means approaching one of the most emotional corners of the Galician coast. The surroundings of the Sanctuary of Virxe da Barca, the harbour, the silhouette of the village facing the Atlantic and the beauty of its coastline make any visit here leave a special memory. When the Conger Festival is added to that, Muxía becomes an essential stop during Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte.
Dumbría
If there is one place that many travellers want to see no matter what during a spring getaway, it is Dumbría. This municipality is home to one of the region’s best-known natural icons and at Easter it is usually a safe bet for those seeking spectacular landscapes and a highly visual visit.
The Ézaro waterfall is the main draw and one of those essential places on the Costa da Morte. Completing the visit with the viewpoint surroundings and the Ézaro landscape makes this stop a perfect plan for those who want nature, unforgettable photographs and a very representative experience of the destination.
Cee
Cee stands out on the Costa da Morte for its ability to fill the calendar with cultural activity and, at Easter 2026, it will do so once again with a municipal programme strongly shaped by events organised by the town council. It is one of the municipalities that stands out most for its cultural programme at this time of year, giving it a very attractive profile for those looking for more than just landscape on their getaway.
What is more, Cee also works as a kind of major shopping hub on the Costa da Morte, with a lively atmosphere and a wide offer for visitors. Its weekly Sunday market is a fantastic opportunity to discover the local pulse and find everything from crafts and food, including local and market garden produce, to fashion and other goods. That is why, in addition to being a very convenient base for moving around this part of the region, Cee adds local life, shopping, gastronomy and services, making it a very complete stop on the route.
Corcubión
Corcubión is one of the most charming towns on the whole Costa da Morte and an ideal stop for an Easter with a gentle pace. Its historic centre, elegant relationship with the estuary and the quiet beauty of its streets make it a very special visit for those who enjoy wandering and discovering places with soul.
The best thing here is to let yourself be carried through the town, stroll through its historic core and enjoy that mix of heritage, calm and seafaring life that makes it so singular. Corcubión fits perfectly into a route that combines Fisterra, Cee and the rest of the estuary area.
Fisterra
Fisterra Easter 2026 will once again be one of the great landmarks of these dates in Galicia, with a celebration declared of Tourist Interest and a religious programme that stretches from February to April. It includes the novena, triduum, pilgrimage to the Santísimo Cristo, events for Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, as well as the Festas do Santo Cristo in April.
For anyone visiting Fisterra at this time, the experience combines tradition, devotion, atmosphere and one of the most powerful settings on the Costa da Morte. The Fisterra Lighthouse, the town, the harbour and the symbolic weight of this end of the world make the municipality one of the leading protagonists of Easter 2026 in the region.
Carnota
Carnota is synonymous with space, light and open nature. At Easter, when you want to walk, breathe and enjoy the landscape without crowds, this municipality becomes an excellent choice for those looking for a getaway shaped by the coast and a feeling of freedom.
The Carnota beach and the famous granary are two of the great must-sees, but the charm of the municipality goes much further. It is a perfect place to connect sea, mountain and tranquillity, and to discover one of the most spectacular postcard views on the Costa da Morte.
Mazaricos
Mazaricos represents a greener, more rural and less obvious Costa da Morte, ideal for those who want to discover the inland part of the region during Easter. Its landscape invites you to slow down and enjoy a serene, authentic Galicia deeply linked to nature.
It is a good municipality for those who want to complete their route with quiet roads, natural surroundings and a real sense of disconnection. Mazaricos brings balance to a Costa da Morte getaway and shows that the destination is also understood from its inland side.
March and April, perfect months to savour the Costa da Morte
In addition to everything there is to see and do, Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte is also an excellent time to enjoy its gastronomy. March and April are months with “R”, and in Galicia that is always great news for those who want to sit down at the table and taste the sea at its very best. These are ideal weeks for savouring the shellfish and fish of the Costa da Morte, with fresh produce, plenty of flavour and all the authenticity of a cuisine linked to the Atlantic.
What is more, this time of year coincides with the start of the tourist and hospitality season, so many establishments reopen or step up their activity to welcome visitors. This makes it possible to find a very wide offer of bars, taverns, seafood restaurants and eateries where you can enjoy the quality of local produce, traditional cuisine and excellent value for money. Travelling around the Costa da Morte at Easter is, without a doubt, also about travelling to eat very well.
A perfect route to experience Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte
The great richness of Easter 2026 on the Costa da Morte lies in its variety. There are municipalities where the weight of religious tradition shapes the journey, such as Fisterra, Corme or Laxe; others where municipal culture and special programming add great value, such as Cee; and others where the great attraction lies in their landscapes, heritage or Atlantic strength, such as Muxía, Dumbría, Camariñas or Carnota.
That is why, rather than looking for a single plan, the ideal thing is to organise a getaway by areas and combine several municipalities on the same route. In this way, you can discover lighthouses, beaches, waterfalls, castles, manor houses, fishing villages, museums, processions, fairs, routes and gastronomy in just a few days. That is precisely one of the reasons why the Costa da Morte becomes one of Galicia’s most suggestive destinations every spring.
If you are thinking of an authentic getaway, with identity and full of different plans, Easter on the Costa da Morte is a safe bet. Here every municipality adds something, every stop has a story to tell and every day leaves you wanting to keep discovering the territory.
What is more, to learn more about the programme for these dates, on this very website you have access to the events calendar, where a large part of the activities, celebrations and proposals organised during Easter in the different municipalities of the region are published. It is a very useful tool for rounding out your trip and making sure you do not miss any of the plans taking place on those days.
