Smell of the sea

We start the route in the car park located next to the fishing port of Mugardos. This unique village in the ría de Ferrol has a fairly well-preserved seafront, with examples of traditional seafaring architecture and some more stately, such as the Casa da Serea. A footbridge overhanging the water will allow us to enjoy the views to the other side of the ría de Ferrol: the A Graña cove with military installations and even the castle of San Felipe, its narrowest point, protected on the Mugardos side by the castle of A Palma, forming part of the defensive system of the ría that turned it into an important naval base from the 16th century onwards

After reaching the punta do Rato, which protects the marina, we follow the promenade of A Culebra, where we will find various explanatory panels about the fauna of the area and the history of this town. We will soon reach praia de Bestarruza where we finish this short route, which is barely a kilometre long.
