Main
tourist resort of the Costa da Morte
Every summer hundreds of tourists gather in
Laxe attracted by the natural beauty of these lands and by the welcoming
charm of its people. Laxe's long and white sanded beach is
the favorite meeting point for most of the tourists, althought there
are as well the solitary sands
of Rebordelo and San Pedro, in Corme's creek, or the one of Soesto,
where King Afonso IX and Queen Berenguela lived once.
In the beach of Laxe lie the remainings of the
cable car towers that transported kaolin from Nande. Located
between the mines and the beach was found Laxe's Geologic Laboratory,
a European famous geological research institute, created by scientist
Isidro Parga Pondal.
In the beginning of the coastpath to Soesto,
Traba and Camelle,
Monte Cornaceiras' hermitage appoints every summer hundreds of pilgrims.
The hermitage's cross was built in the XVII century as Laxe's gratefulness
for having escaped from a sanguinary pirates attack.
