Praia dos Cristais, Laxe

What Seaglassmap found here

Collecting is prohibited here. The signs say so, and the council means it. This tiny cove below the Laxe cemetery is made of sea glass: a municipal tip spent decades pushing bottles into the water off the Baleeira, and the Costa da Morte swell has been rolling them back, tumbled, ever since. In 2004 the Xunta began carting the glass away as a clean-up; neighbours and environmental groups stopped the work three months in, and what you see is what survived. It is a beach to look at. Take a photograph and leave the glass where it is.
