My tip“In summer, car access is regulated and a free bus runs to the monastery; check in advance. E-bike hire is available. Take your rubbish with you.”
One of the best-preserved Atlantic forests in Europe, in the valley of the Eume river; a lovely riverside trail leads to the old Caaveiro monastery. Picnic areas near the visitor centre.
Moderate effort, needs a car
About 45 minutes by car from A Coruña via Pontedeume. The walk to the monastery is 8 km (or take the bus); dense shade.
Barbecue
Not allowed: no fires or barbecues at all; picnic with ready food only.
