Introduction
The highest point of the peninsula, about 166 meters above sea level: the best balcony over A Lanzada and the Umia-O Grove natural area.
Description
From the wooden platform of the viewpoint, you can see A Lanzada beach, the sandy isthmus that turns O Grove into a peninsula, the coast of Sanxenxo and, in the background, the Ría de Pontevedra and the Atlantic Islands.
At its feet lies the Umia-O Grove Intertidal Complex, a Ramsar wetland and ZEPA zone where numerous migratory birds spend part of the year. At low tide, the remains of the old "telleiras", tile factories, and the lagoons from which clay was extracted can be distinguished.
- Next to the viewpoint: the Pedra Cabaleira, a large balanced granite block, and the Aula da Natureza, an interpretation center about birds, tides, and cetaceans.
- How to get there: by car to the summit car park, or on foot along the circular route that ascends from the old Raimundo Vázquez quarry.
