Costa da Morte

The Casa de la Cultura de Vimianzo hosted the first meeting of the Costa da Morte Tourist Association (CMAT), which, together with the Diputación de A Coruña and the Galician Tourism Agency, has already adhered to the Destination Tourism Quality System (SICTED) as managing entity. This project seeks to implement a quality management system with local tourist agents, both public and private.

A total of 46 entities on the Costa da Morte will participate in this 2023 cycle, including rural tourism houses, hotels, pensions, tourist apartments, hostels, active tourism companies, tourist information offices and museums.

The main objective of the CMAT is to raise the quality of tourist services, contribute to creating a destination, encourage work in the network of tourism professionals in the territory, and publicize the tourist offer in the area.
