This site is actually made up of two huge granite masses, A Curotiña (368 m) and A Curota (498 m). They are not the highest or the only vantage points in the sierra of o Barbanza, whose summit is the lroite mountain (685 m), but they are the best places to have an almost aerial perspective of the Rias Baixas, reaching as far as Portugal on a clear day, it is said. On such occasions, this is the best place to experience the tranquillity of the rias, while beneath your feet the boats and mussel-breeding rafts seem to be figures in a huge-scale model. The short distance to the sea and the sharp differences in height levels result in rivers with steep descents. From A Pobra do Caramifial, step by step, it is possible to get to the waterfall of the River Pedras. From Boiro, to the Cubelos waterfalls. In summer months, their cold waters are a nice reward after the tiring climb, if you enjoy them carefully.

Megalithic remains can be seen everywhere. Dolmens such as Arca do Barbanza and Casota do Paramo (Boiro) or the one in Axeitos (Ribeira); castros such as Baroiia (porto do Son) or the ones in 0 Neixon (Boiro). In the last of these, located in the parish of Cespon, the Barbanza Archaeology Centre can be visited, giving a full historical explanation of the area. Top-category landscapes. Peat bogs abound on the high plains in Serra do Barbanza, in rich ecosystems.
