The Naufraxio de Laxe 2026 returns on Monday, 17 August, bringing locals and visitors together for one of Costa da Morte’s most moving and distinctive celebrations. Recognised as a Festival of Tourist Interest in Galicia, the event pays tribute to the Virgen del Carmen, Laxe’s seafaring heritage and the generations whose lives have been closely tied to the ocean.

A celebration at the heart of Laxe’s identity

The harbour once again becomes the setting for a day filled with memory, emotion and tradition. The most eagerly awaited moment is the Naufraxio reenactment, a powerful representation rooted in Laxe’s maritime history that draws crowds to the waterfront every summer.

Music, religious ceremonies, the traditional Danza dos Arcos and the maritime procession complete a day in which Laxe proudly celebrates its enduring bond with the sea.
