This is an area of extraordinary beauty and ecological value, which holds within it a spectacular variety of trees, shrubs, reptiles, insects and birds.
The Fragas do Eume Natural Park is one of Galicia's best-known natural areas, a still-imposing display of European Atlantic forest confined to a striking area along the middle and lower course of the Eume river. In the higher areas of the park, scrub covers extensive areas that are often interspersed with pine forests.

Fragas do Eume hosts species such as the southern grey shrike, woodlark and short-toed snake eagle. In summer, it is a privileged vantage point for watching griffon vultures. The lush pine forests are areas frequented by red crossbills and eurasian nuthatch and iberian chiffchaff live in the vast forests of oak, birch, ash and alder. The eurasian eagle-owl claims as its own the rocky cliffs and the white-throated dipper and common kingfisher still survive in some parts of the Eume.
Bring suitable footwear (waterproof hiking boots) in autumn and winter to walk along the trails.
