Description

Valdoviño contains some of the most spectacular stretches of the Galician coastline, of which one of the most important is the Espazo Natural da Lagoa e Areal da Frouxeira.

A Frouxeira beach, with over three kilometres of fine sand and impressive waves, and the A Frouxeira lagoon, an ecologically important tidal zone, form an environmental and scenic jewel which can be admired in its entirety from the vantage point of the O Paraño lookout point.

The views include, to the south-west, a wide sweep of coast including the Frouxeira headland, with the unmistakable silhouette of the modern lighthouse at Meirás, the distinctive shape of Monte Campelo, and the long outline of Cape Prior in the distance.
