We are Mariví and Delfin.
We were born and raised in the village of Lires, Cee. Like so many others from our generation, when we finished studying, we worked for several years in the big city. But when we had our first child we knew for sure that we wanted to raise him in the village where we were born, in Lires. So..., we packed up and came to live in this precious land.
With the arrival of our second child, we began to question the course of our life and the legacy that we would like to leave behind us. It turns out that here, in Lires, we have a 19th-century house in ruins.
It is the house in which “Granny Lina” lived.
We both like work related to tourism and we have experience in this field, so we thought we could do a good job and create a project that excites us. After giving it some serious thought, we finally found the key to what we wanted to do.
Our idea has a name: it's called LiresCa, Lires on the “Camino”.
We´ve just started rebuilding the house. And when we have everything ready, we hope you'll be surprised by what we have to offer.
LiresCa, Lires on the “Camino”, is born today with this blog, where we will talk about life, stories, legends, and curiosities of our land.
Welcome to LIRESCA, Your “Camino” on the Coast of Death.
On the beach of Lires, in the coldest months of winter, you can fish for a curious small bodied fish (maximum 35 cm), elongated, pointed head and blue-green in colour. It answers to the name of "lubión", although in other locations it is known as "lanzón, pipión or pixilin". Although its fishing is not usually done for sport, but rather for bait, in Lires it is tradition to fry them in oil and then savour them at the table. The smallest specimens are eaten whole with spine and head. T…
The Lighthouse of Vilán On December 7, 2012, six friends left Malpica to walk for more than 200 kms along the Coast of Death, always staying close to the sea. After several weeks exploring the coast in search of paths and trails they arrived in Finisterre, realizing they had designed a spectacular hiking route with lighthouses, dunes, beaches, inlets, cliffs, forts, dolmens, fishing villages, mountains, sunsets , .. At that very moment "The Lighthouse Way" (1) was born. WHAT TO DO: Choose a stage of the Ligh…
The dolmen of A Pedra da Arca (1), also known as the dolmen of Cerqueda , is one of the largest in Galicia. This dolmen, dating from the period between 3500 and 2700 BC, is located in the town of Malpica (Coast of Death ). According to tradition, a moura built Pedra da Arca by loading the stones on her head while spinning and breastfeeding a child. In Galician mythology the mouras are beautiful and seductive women who live under the earth or under the waters, magical beings that occasionally walk among us, sitting on t…
Mount Pindo A left-wing youth from Quilmas (Carnota) called O Catelo, who had become the leader of the "foucellas" (1) from Mount Pindo, led a flight plan for himself and twelve other men. In this way, in the summer of 1937 they descended to the port from Mount Pindo, where they had been hiding for more than a year. Then, with the help of two boats, they assaulted the fishing vessel "O As" at gunpoint and headed for England, where they arrived at the port of Bristol. In spite of the initial joy, fate played a trick o…
