Hey, Lykkers! Have you ever discovered a place so tranquil and beautiful that it feels like a hidden gem?

We recently ventured to the Ermita da Nosa Senora da Lanzada, nestled in the scenic town of Sanxenxo, and it's one of those spots that captures your heart from the moment you arrive.

Exploring the Views from the Chapel

The Ermita da Nosa Senora da Lanzada stands tall overlooking the Lanzada Beach, a stunning stretch of coastline. As we arrived, the sweeping views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking. The chapel itself, with its white stone walls, stood proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and turquoise waters. It felt like we were standing on the edge of the world, and we couldn't help but take a moment to soak in the beauty.

The Ermita is open to the public year-round, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and there's no entrance fee, making it an accessible and peaceful retreat for visitors of all ages. While it's a tranquil spot, the surrounding area is equally captivating, especially during sunset when the sky transforms into shades of pink and orange.

Relaxing at Lanzada Beach

Right next to the Ermita, we discovered Lanzada Beach, known for its clear waters and golden sand. It's the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a swim, or just bask in the sun. The beach is ideal for those looking to unwind after visiting the chapel. We spent hours strolling along the shore, feeling the cool breeze and hearing the waves crash against the beach. The landscape around the beach is so serene, and there's plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting.

Lanzada Beach is accessible year-round, and there are no entrance fees. It's a popular destination for families, surfers, and sunbathers, so we recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon if you're seeking a quieter experience.

Practical Tips for Your Visit

When visiting the Ermita da Nosa Senora da Lanzada, we suggest wearing comfortable shoes, as the area around the chapel and beach can be a bit hilly. If you're planning to spend time at the beach, be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a towel for relaxation. There are also several spots nearby where you can grab a quick bite, but for a more authentic experience, try visiting one of the local seafood restaurants in Sanxenxo.

For those traveling by car, parking is available near both the chapel and the beach, though it can get busy during the peak tourist season, so arriving early or later in the day is recommended. If you're staying overnight, there are numerous accommodations nearby, including charming hotels with coastal views.

Our visit to Ermita da Nosa Senora da Lanzada and Lanzada Beach was a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The stunning views, the serene atmosphere, and the chance to relax by the beach made it an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking for a spiritual retreat or a relaxing day by the sea, Lanzada has something special for everyone, and we highly recommend making it a part of your next travel adventure, Lykkers!
