Galicia, where the sea starts One is not always aware, but the point furthest west on the European continent is in Galicia on the Finisterre Cape.
With nearly 2,500km of coast, the maritime heritage of Galicia is evident. The sea, place of work for commerce and the fishing industry has become recently a potential space for leisure. Today, the expansion of watersports is having an effect on this maritime heritage: school children are learning the technical basics, but also revisit their historical past, and discover a rich and interesting subject.
Still regarded as a venue for holiday makers, in part by its distance from the centre of the country, Galicia has a crucial card to play: that of watersport linked to its cultural heritage. |
