Nature in its purest form

Galicia's natural wonders mean that the vast majority of its territory is protected, due to interest in its diffe- rent habitats. Take a stroll through its forests, where wolves live, or sail out to its islands to check out their wild beaches. Atlantic Islands of Galicia Nation- al Park . A boat will take you to the most beautiful beach in the world , according to The Guardian : Rodas, on the Cíes Islands . Composed of the archipelagos of Sálvora , Cortegada , Ons and Cíes , this park is a unique flora and fauna reserve. As Fragas do Eume . In the Iberian Peninsula's best preserved Atlan-

tic forest you can walk among native trees and climb up to the Monastery of Caaveiro , which offers spectacular views of the Eume River. Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés Park . The legends surrounding this land, filled with waterfalls, megalithic monuments, thermal waters and the major Roman road Via Nova , com- bine fantasy and reality. Correubedo Dunes . These famous giant dunes are the most notable feature of this idyllic seaside loca- tion. If you travel along the marked paths, you can explore the lagoons surrounding them, Carregal and Vixán.

Mount Aloia. On your way through Tui, check out the natural lookout point over the Miño River valley, Galicia's largest. Your climb to the top of the hillside will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views . O Invernadeiro. Practically uninhab- ited, in order to visit this mountain you must request permission in ad- vance. Its isolation makes it a privi- leged place for having its rivers and native forest all to yourself. Serra da Enciña da Lastra. The presence here of oak trees and other Mediterranean species is an excep- tion in Galicia. This place is also a true paradise for speleologists.
