Elevated, with a unique shape and visible from much of the region, Mount A Peneda is one of the most unique places around the Vigo estuary.
The chapel of Nosa Señora das Neves or Virxe da Peneda, dating from the 17th century, presides over the top of this peak of 329 meters and very steep slopes. The building occupies the site of the A Peneda fort, a settlement that took advantage of the easy strategic defense and the breadth of views.
From the A Peneda viewpoint, next to its old cork oak, you can see the Vigo estuary, from its formation at the mouth of the Verdugo River to Rande, with the Cíes Islands in the background.
