Caión Socio-Community Center, in A LarachaDevelops Works and ServicesTREASURES AT HOUSE FOOT | A dozen stops on the Costa da Morte to gaze at iconic buildings
Jan 30, 2022. Updated at 05:00 h.WhatsappMailFacebookTwitterComment ·Complaints about lost architectures, thrown down, tend to abound. Carballo, of course, is a good example of this, when he was left without his old town hall or church, but he is also a good example, for some time now, of his commitment to contemporary architecture. The Costa da Morte has authentic jewels in this sense and will appear in these lines, in fact, just over a dozen stops. In the capital of Bergantiños, the award-winning Rego da Balsa library, with Óscar Pedrós as architect and built between 2011 and 2013, deserves admiration.

Somewhat earlier, since it was built from 2006 to 2010, is the Forum building, a work by the architects Manuel Carbajo and Celso Barrios who, since the beginning of the Rexenera Fest festival, also added murals to its exterior of urban art. Going even further back is the Pazo da Cultura, built between 2000 and 2002, with Luis Collarte as architect: it is currently pending an important reform. Initially built in 1968, the Carballés food market was rehabilitated several times, the last in 2010, under the direction of Miguel A. Abad Blanco and Antonio Deus.

The neighboring municipality of A Laracha also has several examples, the most recent being the Caión socio-community center, inaugurated in September 2021 and with a shape that evokes the back of a whale (Naos Arquitectura, an image that heads this information). The new and sustainable PAC building is also fairly recent, with its use of wood, a work by Cristina Ezcurra de la Iglesia and Cristina Ouzande Lugo that received a mention at the COAG awards. Also in A Laracha, the team of architects who designed the pool —Cristóbal Crespo, Carlos Quintáns and Antonio Raya— deserved, among others, the prestigious Galán award.

Inaugurated at the end of 2007, the Fisterra fish market (under the guidelines of the Creus&Carrasco studio) was the first in Galicia to open for tourism purposes. It deserves a visit for its exterior and interior. With very different uses, of course, the colored cemetery of Dumbría (architect: Rosana Pichel) is already a referential point in the region, like its set of facilities in O Conco. Punta Nariga, in Malpica, by César Portela, is an icon of this architect who, by the way, designed a cemetery for Fisterra that continues to give much talk. The Casa da Cultura de Vimianzo or the Aula de Natureza de Cerceda are also worth a stop.
