GALICIA Information - Natural Parks: COSTA DE DEXO |
 |
LOCATION: Municipality of Oleiros, close to A Coruña. SURFACE AREA: 266 hectares; SCI: 347 hectares. ACCESS: From A Coruña through Perillo, Porto de Santa Cruz and Mera, with turn-offs in Mera. SERVICES: Accommodation and food in the neighbouring villages; drinks and snacks are served on the beach in summer. M.A.N.: Wild Fauna Recovery Centre, Santa Cruz. Oleiros: Phone number. 981 626241 Galician Centre for University extension and environmental information. Castelo de Santa Cruz, s/n. Lians. Phone number: 981 630 688 / 981 630 618 Of all the cliffs separating the rias of A Coruña and Betanzos, the most famous one is the extreme point of Seixo Branco, a quartz outcrop on the edge of a bright stone expanse that can be seen from A Coruña when the sun shines or the storms crash against them. The best panoramic views can be enjoyed on the spot; for instance, from the Mera lighthouse, on Oleiros municipality, the view of the neighbouring islet of A Marola. The coast is a thin line which breaks into inlets and outlets resembling a thin saw, and some beaches such as Canabal. As the seamen song goes, "quen pasou A Marola, pasou a mar toda" ("those who have passed Marola have passed the whole sea"). This might seem exaggerated, but the saying alludes to the strong streams in a place which is open to the sea: all the adverse elements of climatology and terrain on the Ferrol-A Coruña sea route converge here. In the old times, this route was highly used by dornas (traditional sailing boats) and steamers for travellers. Nowadays, there is a regular transport service to cross A Marola in the tourist season. FAUNA: Nesting birds such the Green cormorant (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) or the Red-billed Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax). Otter (Lutra lutra) and bats (Rinolophus ferrumequinum). |
