The new system will allow municipalities not represented on the organisation’s board to attend meetings with a voice.
The new Board of Directors of the Costa da Morte Tourism Association (CMAT) has held its first meeting in A Laracha, the current seat of the presidency, to set the priorities and work guidelines that will shape its actions in the coming months, with a strong commitment to promoting, preserving, and sustainably developing the Costa da Morte.
José Manuel López Varela, mayor of A Laracha, has taken over as president of CMAT (Costa da Morte Tourism Association) from Manuel Muiño Espasandín, mayor of Zas, who held the position since July 2023.
CMAT has completed an institutional visit to the Uribe region in Bizkaia to learn firsthand about best practices in sustainable tourism management. Over two days, representatives from the association took part in technical visits, institutional meetings, and discussions with tourism professionals, gathering valuable insights to help improve the quality and competitiveness of Costa da Morte as a tourism destination.

The program included Gaztelugatxe, the Camino de Santiago in Larrabetzu, meetings with representatives of the Bizkaia Provincial Council, and local tourism business owners. The experience provided new insights to help strengthen tourism in Costa da Morte.
