Turismo de Galicia

Key points on the route:

1. From Sanxenxo (1) continue along the coast until O Grove. With your eyes continually watching the open sea (2), (3), (4), it is possible to spot more than a few species, such as cory's shearwater, the balearic shearwater or great skua, various gulls, the great cormorant and european shag, great northern loon and black-throated loon and, with some luck, the common murre.
2. In any of the beaches on the tour we will see sanderlings and turnstones.
3. Passing through the A Lanzada isthmus, we reach the marsh of O Vao (5), where it is possible to see spoonbills and an impressive number of various species of Anatidae and waders.

Key points on the route:

1. From San Vicente do Grove the route takes us to our destination: Bodeira lagoon (2).
2. Here we can see both coastal birds, such as the kentish plover and the sanderling, and water birds linked to the wetlands, such as little grebes, eurasian coots, water rails and common reed buntings. Also to be enjoyed are many land birds such as the european nightjar, the sardinian warbler and the zitting cisticola.

Key points on the route:

1. Leave from the car park south of A Lanzada beach (1) until you reach the naturalised Rouxique lagoons (2).
2. Particular attention should be paid to the birds in various gravel pits and also in the fields (3) and dunes (4). This is a particularly fitting way to watch aquatic species such as water rail, kingfisher, grebe, coot and common reed bunting, as well as species typical to thickets, plot boundaries and fields such as the common kestrel, the lark and the sardinian warbler.
