Corme

The port of Corme, located on the Costa da Morte, has historically been a key point for the navigation and economic development of the region. It is renowned for its capacity to accommodate large vessels. Corme stood out in the 20th century as an important centre for cabotage and maritime trade, with ships transporting goods such as wood and kaolin. The town was also a pioneer in the export of timber and the establishment of sardine salting factories and conger eel drying sheds.

Today, fishing and shellfishing, especially for barnacles and sea urchins, remain pillars of the local economy. Corme is also proud of its rich cultural heritage, with its traditional architecture and vibrant community life. A stroll through its old quarters reveals the essence of a town that has always lived from the sea and for the sea.
