ACCESS CHANGES
The shore becomes reachable
Highlights include the fort of Torre Pardiñas in Razo, where the Roman influence is felt in their defensive scheme, and especially the Roman Bridge of Lubiáns, which was part of the Roman road per Loca Maritima.

ORGANISED SPORT
Surfing reads the same coast differently
Razo is part of PeakWave's surfing catalogue.
The local record used here does not support a single founding date for the sport, so the exhibition treats its sporting identity as an accumulation of use, access and organisation.

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Razo is recorded at 43.301° N, 8.630° W. A surf map fixes a name to one stretch of moving water, but the place changes with tide, swell direction, wind and the shape of the seabed.
