Turismo de Galicia

Key points on the route:

1. The route starts at Goente (1), where it is possible to see cirl buntings. Follow the AC-142 road to the small chapel of San Roque where, with the aid of a telescope, watchers can look from the southern foot of the As Pontes dumpsite to spot montagu's harrier and common kestrel.
2. Once in the village of As Pontes (3) look for eurasian crag martins and white-throated dippers.
3. While approaching the beach of As Pontes lake (4), look for a high spot to view eurasian teal, tufted duck, great crested grebe and the occasional western osprey.
4. Turning south, take the highway and exit at Espiñaredo (5). Here, it is possible to see the red-rumped swallow, iberian chiffchaff and yellowhammer. Once in Pena de Eiriz, take a detour to the left towards the Seoane church and O Castro (6) while looking for eurasian woodcocks and tawny owls.
5. After passing Os Miguelares, the route reaches a rocky area with scrub (7). woodlark, mistle thrush and, at times, southern grey shrike can be seen there.
6. Take a dirt track south though the O Forgoselo pine forests (8) to Goente (9). On the way look out for woodlark, red crossbill, eurasian siskin and, in winter, water pipit.
