About this spot
The Faro y Santuario de Muxía, located in the serene coastal town of Muxía in Galicia, Spain, encompasses a unique blend of maritime heritage and spiritual significance. This iconic site is home to a picturesque lighthouse, the Faro de Muxía, which stands guard over the rugged coastline, guiding mariners through the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Just a stone's throw away from the lighthouse lies the Santuario de la Virgen de la Barca, a revered sanctuary steeped in legend and pilgrimage tradition. According to local lore, the Virgin Mary appeared here to Saint James. The sanctuary and its surroundings, including the mythical Pedra de Abalar (Rocking Stone) and Pedra dos Cadrís (Kidney Stone), draw visitors not only for their religious and historical allure but also for the breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and coast they offer, making it a spiritual and visual retreat for pilgrims and tourists alike.
