The Atlantic Sunset project, led by Euroregional Studies Centre Foundation (FCEER) and supported by Interreg Atlantic Area, challenged Galicia students to immerse themselves virtually in the Atlantic sunsets spots in a 360 degrees experience. The partner Wireless Galicia guided participants through an immersive experience using virtual reality headsets, allowing them to “travel” through Atlantic sunsets. Actually, they stayed at the Instituto de Educación Secundaria IES Ramón Caamaño, in Muxía and Instituto de Educación Secundaria IES Fin Do Camiño, in Fisterra as part of a pedagogic session of the Interreg Cooperation Day, marked by FCEER last 19 September.
Wireless Galicia also presented a complete technological spot, similar to those to be set up in each Atlantic sunset location of the project and carried out a live 360° video broadcast via YouTube*. It presents the unique characteristics of the sunsets in the Atlantic regions and explores how innovation can help to showcase and preserve the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
At the session, FCEER also presented the importance of the European Union Transnational Cooperation, the Atlantic Sunset project, and the and the symbolic value of the Costa da Morte as a European landmark. Professor Lucrezia López, researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela, delivered the lecture “Chasing the Sun at the End of the Camino”, highlighting the cultural and symbolic importance of Fisterra’s sunset within the imagination of the Camino de Santiago.
These educational activities served as a prelude to the afternoon session of Atlantic Sunset on the Costa da Morte, which celebrated the Interreg Cooperation Day 2025 under the theme “Science, culture, sustainable tourism, and European cooperation around the last sunset of continental Europe.”
