It features prominent coastal formations like Cape Fisterra, historically considered the end of the known world, alongside inland natural wonders including the 45-meter Belelle waterfall and the steep river canyons of the Miño. Sandy stretches like Cesantes and Bares provide contrasting tranquil environments within this Atlantic landscape.
