A PROJECT THAT 'COMES FROM FAR'
Of December 2003, date on which its construction was announced as part of the aid to compensate for the environmental catastrophe caused by the sinking of the Prestige a year earlier, in an attempt to liven up the local economy and create jobs.
Life has never been easy in this area of Galicia hit by an Atlantic as beautiful as temperamental.
But the result, seen what has been seen, has deserved the delay, the uncertainty and the 16 years of waiting. And the fact is that the new Parador is not only architecturally remarkable and the chain's pride in sustainability, conservation of the environment and local development but also It is pure Galicia.
An exhibitor of art, culture and the Galician way of feeling with a most innovative style.
Designed by the Galician architect Alfonso Penela, this building built on terraces on the hillside, is in such harmony with the beautiful landscape of Costa da Morte that from a distance is diluted in the environment.
Reconcile with the world in this corner of Galicia
Although it seems that it has a reduced dimension, due to its architecture integrated into the landscape, the construction hides more than 15,000 habitable square meters and three hectares of land they drive to the coast , which can also be accessed through different paths, from the bedrooms.
“It is going to be the most avant-garde parador in Spain since its architecture is very integrated into the environment, with all groundcovers except the upper one, whose materials mix glass, wood and zinc. The woods are from bamboo, beech and oak says Julio Castro, director of Parador Costa da Morte, who left the direction of the Parador of the Catholic Monarchs of Santiago de Compostela to embark on this exciting coastal project.

The care in the details and the ingenuity shown to solve the peculiarities of the construction and the terrain are some of the most striking features of the Parador Costa da Morte.
Above all the original elevators: panoramic (views deserve constant admiration) and with diagonal displacement, as if it were a rack railway, to save the slope of the hill on which it sits.
A haven of peace overlooking the Atlantic
The decoration of the 63 rooms, five of them suites, is inspired by the stones, vegetation, colors, shapes, legends and, ultimately, the essence of the Costa da Morte, whose geography is traversed through each of its levels.
The Corcubión, Lires, Camariñas and Corme y Lage estuaries are represented on each of its four floors. In turn, each room has been baptized with the name of a must-see place, whose location and history will be listed on a nautical chart.
As for its gastronomic offer, the hotel intends to promote local gastronomy and devise a menu where traditional recipes predominate, for those who will have a good proximity product, both in regards to the bites of the sea like the flavors of the garden
