Osmo beach, Corme

Osmo beach is a sheltered one to which we went last year. It is in Corme, a little town about 20-25 minute far from Malpica. I had been spoken very highly of this beach, as safe and ideal to go with kids, so we went.
de Malpica hace que allí luzca sol cuando aquí en Toledo hay tormenta, y llueva cuando aquí hay buen tiempo. Nunca se sabe, pero incluso octubre es un mes en el que la gente pasea tranquilamente por Malpica disfrutando de buen tiempo - aunque ya no haga calor como para bañarse, pero es que calor, calor, aquí no hace -.
Contrary to what many people think, Galicia is not sad or dark or gray in summer. In winter it is cold, high humidity and it's not nice it's raining all the time, but in summer it does not. The best month to go is July, followed by August, but my parents often go several times between May and October, and as I mentioned earlier, the microclimate of Malpica favors that the sun shines there while here in Toledo there is a storm, and the rain when we have good weather here. You never know, but even October is a month where people stroll leisurely enjoying Malpica good weather - although there isn't temperature hot enough to swim, but the thing is that really heat, you never have it here.  

It is very close to the urban core, and there are blocks of apartments near the beach. It seems that here you will not have many surprises, such as currents which drag you out to sea, or pools in which you sink when you are just entering the sea (as sometimes happens at high tide on the beach of Malpica).






The day, like many others in August, was bright, cloudless and very good temperature for swimming. It is a small beach, so, so close to the village and with such a good time, when we arrived it was full of people.






 
Look at the cleanliness of the water

The sand had a bright gray. It strikes me that every beach I have visited had a peculiar sand, characteristic of the area. This summer, when we were in Razo, the fine sand beat you to the skin as it does not do in Malpica. In Osmo, the sand was brilliant, shining. It had what appeared to be tiny bits of mica mixed with the sand ...


Mussel farming rafts

 





I think those floating are rafts for mussel farming. I remember having seen them twenty years ago in the Ria de Vigo (Pontevedra - Rías Baixas), but I do not remember before on the Costa de la Muerte.
