ポンテカルデーラスの天然記念物・トップ17

Great walk

The Fonte das Sete Fontes is a natural spring located in Pontevedra, in the province of Pontevedra, in the region of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. Specifically, the spring is located in the Parque Natural das Sete Fontes, a protected area that encompasses several springs and streams.

The Cotorredondo Natural Park is structured around the lake and the streams that feed it, creating a unique space where native species coexist with trees of very different origins. As a recreational area, it has perfectly marked paths, numerous fountains, playgrounds and tables and benches.

Along the northern coast of the Ría de Vigo is an incredibly diverse natural landscape where the fresh water of the rivers meets the salt water of the San Simón coast, near Vilaboa. This swampy aquatic environment is attractive to explore.

Former salt extraction area, now a nature reserve

In this place, close to each other, are the great Mámoa do Rei and the cist of the necropolis of Chan de Castiñeiras: On the one hand, we must highlight the monumentality of the Mámoa do Rei, which aims to stand out and become visible in the landscape , being a mound of approximately 30 meters in diameter with a large corridor dolmen differentiated in height in the central area. On the other hand, there is the cist, much smaller in size and which goes completely unnoticed, almost invisible, which allows us to observe the ritual changes that take place between the full megalithic period (3950-2500 BC) where Mámoa do Rei would be located and the end of megalithism. (2500-2000 BC) where the cist would be located. During the excavations carried out in Mámoa do Res, multiple ceramic and stone fragments were found, such as a series of small idols found at the entrance of the dolmen.

We took a little break in the garden and let the hustle and bustle of the city sink in. Just great. Unfortunately there was no stamp for our passport

Magnificent place for a rest before finishing the climb to Cotorredondo.
