It is a small fishing town that has become increasingly popular with tourists for its quiet beaches and dramatic scenery. Muxia is a wonderful place in which to buy Spanish property if you are looking for a wild north coast location.
Muxia's position at the northern end of a large promontory of land that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean provides unparalleled views out to sea. The coastal area has been given the name of 'Costa da Morte', that when translated means the Coast of Death! It is thought that the name has arisen because of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred around the rocky coastline down the centuries. Recently, an oil tanker ran aground here spilling its load - another ship claimed by the rocks of Muxia.
Thankfully, Muxia has recovered from this terrible ordeal, which is just as well as life in the town of Muxia itself revolves around fishing. It is home to an important fishing port which has an active fishing fleet. Many of the fine restaurants in the town rely on the local fish catch, presenting tourists and residents with an exquisite selection of tasty Spanish dishes.
