Walking among the dunes

On the road that connects Corrubedo with Xuño, after leaving Santa Clara de Novás, we find an asphalted track on the left that leads us to lagoa de Muro on its south side. After following it for about 1.3 km we will arrive at a car park where we leave our vehicle to continue along a path on a walkway that crosses the pre-coastal area of praia de Basoñas, which forms a dune cordon. This wooden walkway continues for almost 1 km until it reaches another parking area located on the south side of the beach.

During our tour we will see the foothills of the serra do Barbanza, with the unmistakable figure of one of its most famous mounts, A Curota, at almost 600 m above sea level, or monte Taúme, 240 m high, which offers good views of part of the Porto do Son coast and the Parque Natural do Complexo dunar de Corrubedo e lagoas de Carregal e Vixán. We can reach this spot and return to the starting point, following the sandy area, or retrace our steps.
