Coastal Wonders and Natural Beauty

This collection highlights the diverse geography of Galicia, from the northernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula at Estaca de Bares to the rugged 'Coast of Death' marked by the Vilán and Ortegal lighthouses. 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.
