Muxía (Galician pronunciation: [muˈʃi.ɐ]; Spanish: Mugía [muˈxi.a]) is a coastal town and municipality in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain.

Muxía is part of the 'Costa da Morte' or 'Costa de la Muerte' (i.e., the "Coast of Death").

The Costa Da Morte was given this name because of the large number of shipwrecks along its rocky shore.

These are large stones that are balanced on a point, so that they can be moved back and forth easily, or even wiggle in response to the wind.

This part of Spain was resistant to conversion to Christianity, and was only converted in the 12th century[citation needed].

Muxía was purchased by King Carlos of Castile (the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) in the 16th century so he could have a more convenient port, and thus improve his kingdom's commerce and connections with England, where his cousin was Mary I. Muxía was destroyed in the 19th century by Napoleon´s forces.
