Caión port, as the entrance port to Costa da Morte, is host to one of the most interesting and rich histories of Galicia's seafaring past.
Walk around it, you can imagine how in the 16th and 17th centuries it had major whaling activity and in the 21th century it became a benchmark for fishing in the area.
Today, it is a point of great tourist interest, due to the design of its new facilities and the quality of its services for both seafarers and for those on the land.
We invite you to explore it calmly, to contemplate the craftsmanship and walk on the wooden walkway from where you can enjoy the innovative design of the new fishermen's huts. A building that is perfectly integrated into the environment, which seeks to unite the professional world of the sea, with leisure time and relaxation.
You can see different boats both for artisanal fishing (octopus and goose barnacles) as well as sports and recreation craft. If you want to feel the daily fishing activities, we recommend visiting it at around 7 am, when the sailors go out to sea and 14:30 pm when they return with their catch.
We also recommend visiting the old fisherman's neighbourhood in Rueiro das Figueiras, where several typical, low rise houses still remain, made of stone with a wooden gallery.
