Laxe is known for its urban beach and its history linked to the sea. Its urban development, the construction of the fish market in 1987 and the inauguration of the Museum of the Sea in 2011 stand out.
Known for its urban beach, this coastal town has undergone significant changes due to urban development. During the 20th century, the construction of infrastructures such as a pier and a road connecting to the old port transformed the environment. In the 1980s, the extension of a breakwater altered marine currents, creating dunes on the beach. The town also preserves historical heritage, including a Gothic church and an emblematic house. In 1987, a new fish market was inaugurated, reflecting the importance of fishing in the area. At the beginning of the 21st century, modern buildings were erected, and a museum was created in 2011, housing a photographic archive of great cultural value. These transformations have marked the town's evolution, combining modernity with the preservation of its history.
