Following the motorway round La Coruna I headed for Carballo then Malpica. From here minor roads only ran along this stretch of coast, and the atmosphere changed quickly to a simple rustic.
The roads meandered around steep tree-covered hills occasionally opening up onto an intimate small harbour or bay. There was little development or even signs of tourism. All very natural and unspoilt.
Laxe had a remarkable white beach headed by dunes with a small port at one end.
Camelle was a delightful, small fishing port.
I drove to the headland of Cabo Vilan:

116 miles covered and the best day by far!
Beautiful!
