GALICIA Information - Natural Parks: CARNOTA-MONTE PINDO |
 |
LOCATION: Municipalities of Carnota, Corcubión, Mazaricos, Cee and Dumbría, between the Corcubión and Muros e Noia rias. SURFACE AREA: 4,674 hectares. ACCESS: C-550 Road, between Cee and Carnota. SERVICES: Accommodation: Yes. food: Yes. O Pindo is a special Celtic Olympus. Just like classic Greeks dedicated their Pindhos to muses and poetry, this place favours home legends and myths. Of all the mountains that lean on the sea, this one will change your impression of all the others. Next to it, the only waterfall in Southern Europe which flows directly into the see can still be seen in Ezaro when the river Xallas dam is opened, in winter to relieve rainwater or in summrer in the tourist season. In any case, it is always impressive. On the left side, from the village of O Pindo, you can climb to the summit of A Moa (627 m). The paths are watched over by stone figures tinged with the colour of sunsets, such as "the warrior" and castles, faces or whatever the imagination may dictate. Two records are held in Carnota. Firstly, it has the largest beach in Galicia (more than 6 kms long, and 1 km wide), with the Caldebarcos lagoon. Secondly: the hórreos (granaries), one close to the rectorial house, which is 34,85 metres long, and the other in Lira. Fisterran-style jewellers for the golden grain of corn. FLORA: Dunar system endemisms, such as Omphalodes littoral is, humid areas endemisms: Rush beds Uuncus maritimus). In O Pindo: Quercus lusitanica and other autochthonous species. FAUNA: Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea). |
