Mount Aloia is a beautiful place full of nature, this natural park is located on the southern limit of the Serra do Galiñeiro. One of its main attractions are the panoramic views of the valleys of the Miño and Louro rivers. The highest point is Alto de San Xiao (631 m), which is the most visited place in this enclave. Mount Aloia was declared the first Natural Park of Galicia on October 4, 1978. Although it is the smallest of the natural parks in the community, it has an extensive network of paths, 6 viewpoints and picnic areas to enjoy nature alongside the “wet stripe” (border) with Portugal.

Near Mount Aloia, there is a Via Crucis that culminates at the Cruz viewpoint, which dates back to 1910. This viewpoint offers impressive views and is a must-see place for cycle tourists and lovers of hiking and nature.

If you have the opportunity to visit Mount Aloia, I recommend exploring these places and enjoying the natural beauty it offers. I hope you have a wonderful experience! 😊

The only national park in Galicia. The summit of this mountain and the surrounding forest offer spectacular views of the Minho River valley and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
