The little-known Galician village hidden on the Costa da Morte: a beautiful spot by the sea
The autonomous community of Galicia is full of picturesque, charming villages tucked away among the wonderful natural surroundings of Spain's northwesternmost region. One of the most fascinating is located on the Costa da Morte, a wild corner of the Iberian Peninsula that holds fascinating secrets. Ponteceso, an incredible municipality in A Coruña made up of several towns, is perfect for anyone seeking a little peace and quiet.
The spirit of this town is shaped by its proximity to the ocean, so both the architecture and the way of life are strongly influenced by the waters of the Atlantic. Ponteceso is nestled among the magnificent natural surroundings of the Bergantiños region, adding to the charm of this fascinating town, perfect for lovers of rural tourism and a weekend getaway.
Ponteceso, a treasure to be discovered in Galicia
Although some of the towns in Ponteceso are quite popular with tourists, such as Corme, the reality is that the municipality's main attractions are not located in any of the urban centers, but rather in the stunning natural surroundings. However, don't miss the birthplace of Eduardo Pondal, one of the most important Galician poets of the 20th century.
In the surrounding area, you can climb the wonderful Monte Branco (in fact, there's a trail that starts from the poet's house), where you'll find an incredible viewpoint offering breathtaking panoramic views. Another spot not to be missed by any visitor is Punta Roncudo, a promontory jutting into the ocean and featuring a beautiful lighthouse that accentuates the seafaring essence of the entire area.
Furthermore, throughout the municipality there are many fantastic beaches where you will practically meet no one, such as Barda Beach, although trekking enthusiasts also have numerous options for completing spectacular hiking trails that run through natural enclaves of extraordinary beauty very close to the Anllóns River , making Ponteceso a destination to consider for the summer weeks.
The municipality of Ponteceso is located about 40 minutes by road from the city of A Coruña. To get there, take the AG-55 to Carballo. Once you're out of town, take the AC-418 and then turn onto the AC-419, which leads to this wonderful corner of A Coruña.
