Museo Mares de Cedeira


Cedeira's Museum of the Seas is a loving tribute to the town's seafaring, and particularly fishing, traditions. On display are real and model boats, fishing and seafood-gathering equipment, and all manner of other intriguing maritime material. The curator will happily explain it all, in Spanish!
