Costa de Ferrolterra-Valdoviño Essentials

This protected coastal stretch in Galicia spans the rugged Atlantic shoreline between Ferrol and Valdoviño. The selection highlights the region's diverse landscape, featuring the 12th-century island chapel of Santa Comba and the modernist Faro de Punta Frouxeira. The area is defined by its military history, seen in the abandoned batteries of Cabo Prior, and its ecological importance, centered around the RAMSAR-protected lagoons of Doniños and Frouxeira which serve as critical habitats for migratory birds.
