NATURE

This natural space, which is located right next to the urban core of Cangas, sits on land declared since 1990 as Protection of Natural Spaces by the Regional Planning Department. It stands out for concentrating a multitude of habitats in a small area and for being an area of great scenic beauty that has various beaches such as Congorza, Do Medio and Areamilla.

In its extension, they can be found with species such as herons, seagulls, stone turnsts and biliaries, up to 19 species of waders and 9 of seagulls. Birds such as sea crows, araos and terns live in the sea.

In the sea cliffs and areas with little soil, we find sea parsley, brave garlic, two orchids, and species of great interest in the Galician context such as the grass to fall in love.

In addition, in Punta Balea seven species of bats fly and other mammals appear such as the small weasel or mustela, the chub hedgehog, the mole, the furan and, occasionally, the jineta and the fox.

Cabo Home is a “protected natural area” within Natura 2000, together with Cabo Udra and O Facho, the oldest place of pilgrimage in Galicia, with 100 roman altars which honoured the Galician deity of the God Berobreo. These settlements are very close to the Galician Atlantic Islands Maritime-Terrestrial National Park and they are a magical place of unparalleled value.

This fantastic place is made up of a large formation of dunes and the cliffs of the Costa da Vela, framed by a forest of pine and eucalyptus trees, with various trails.

The beauty of the marine viewpoints, along with the beaches and archaeological sites, are still today the main attractions of this excellent natural destination between the Bays of Vigo and Pontevedra.

It is a place to get lost; to enjoy the sea and the beach; climb Monte O Facho; and walk from Cabo da Vela to Cabo Home.

It is a unique and charming site with beautiful views of the Galician coast.

Also known as the Finca de la Marquesa or the Parque Municipal Quiñones de León, the Parque de Castrelos, located in Vigo, has great landscaping and botanical value. In 1955 it was declared a Historic Garden and a Site of Cultural Interest.

It is located in the parish of Castrelos, near the Balaídos Stadium, between Avenida de Castrelos and Avenida Antonio Palacios. It is crossed by the Lagares River and the Prado Viejo street and it is undoubtedly one of the obligatory stops for those who visit the Olivian city.
