LOCATION: Bottom of the Muros e Noia ria, municipalities
of Brión, Negreira, Noia, Outes and Porto do Son.
SURFACE AREA: 1,581 hectares. These intertidal sites,
surrounded by rush beds, gradually turn the river Tambre into a seamen
river, without abandoning its rural spirit. This slow process, which
started after the construction of the dam related to the hydroelectric
power station Tambre I, built in the early 20th century, results in
the pleasant recovery of nature tourism. The estuary on the Noia ria
offers ecologicalvalue sites of beautiful landscapes, such as in Ponte
Nafonso, a bridge which crosses it on water level on twenty successive
arches, and, towards the interior, the P.R-G 11 leads to the thick
vegetation of the Devesa de Nimo. The panoramic view which is closest
to the coast, from A Serra de Outes, is the Tremuzo mountain (526
m). |
