The caseta and Pepe, the memory of the sea

The visitors center of Camiños de Andar ao Mar (Caminos de Ir al Mar) is located in an authentic fisherman's hut. It is a common type of construction in the old fishing villages, of which you can see other examples in Portocubelo itself or, on the other side of Carnota beach, in Caldebarcos. It has been donated by the family of Pepe do Cuco, the last one who used it for its original function: to protect his 'xeiteira' and the rest of the work materials or to “encascar” (dye) the nets.

Inside we will talk to you about a way of life. We are aware that the seafaring tradition has changed, that our relationship with the sea, being just as close, advances with the times. That is why we have decided to collect and share the memory, still alive, of that time when, just a few decades ago, the tools, materials, techniques and customs were different.

Technology to inmerse

Get ready for something different. In this small hut we have prepared an experience that will surely surprise you. The access system is already fully automated, so you can enter almost any day of the year. Take your mobile! You will need it to enter.

Once inside, a fully automated audiovisual montage will guide you and tell you stories about the sea. Authentic original pieces coexist with videos and plays of lights that link, like jewels, the dramatized memories that our elders gave us to rebuild collective memory. A treasure that is kept in this chest that is the Caseta de Pepe do Cuco.

In just a few minutes, you will live a moment to keep because the story will move you and the staging will amaze you.
