The remains of an old settlement

Castros... Strategically located and with breathtaking views, the so-called "castros" are fortified settlements where the ancient inhabitants of Galicia took refuge in times of war. But the Galician castros also had a particularly magical dimension, as they were located in high areas, which were believed to facilitate contact with heaven and the afterlife. This type of dwelling - vestiges of Celtic culture - was used for thousands of years (from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD) and there are hundreds of open-air castro excavations in Galicia and countless others that have not yet been discovered.

Beautiful secluded beach. Access possible via different ways. There is a large parking lot above the beach. Access but unpaved over rough gravel road including potholes. If you want to hike, I recommend the "Senda da Costa" coastal path, which runs below and almost parallel to the gravel road.

The port and marina of Cangas on the Atlantic coast serve sailboats, pleasure craft, and passenger vessels. These replace the thriving fishing industry that dominated these shores a century ago. Today, the port is part of the Paseo Marítimo, a public space along the coast and a tourist attraction.

Historical monument and museum located along the Paseo Marítimo, this former salt warehouse, at the service of the prosperous fishing industry of the Galician coast. The factory was built in 1883 by Salvador Massó Palau. Some of the structures were demolished to create a public space and gardens for Casa Massó
