Itinerary description
Waypoints
Starting point
The river Xallas is 65km long. It start nearby and flows into the Atlantic Ocean in a beautiful waterfall,which is a geological jewel. Along the river the geological richness is highly important because there are rocks from the Oceanic crust and the terrestrial mantle. There is also some evidence thet there were the first human settlements in Galicia.
Riparian vegetation
Common vegetation on the banks of the river. We can not see the river from here, but we can see the limits of the wetland.
Meadows
There are often Meadows near the river because of the rich soll. It is very fertile.
Mining area
Several mines are located in the municipality of Santa Comba. This is one of the reasons why the archeological value of the area has not been fully studied so far
Water mill
This is a good example of an old water mill that is now not in the middle of the water because the river changed its course.
Pines
Pine is another common although it is a negative species on the coast. It favors the growth of other negative trees.
Dam
A dam was built to carry water to a hydroelectic plant, another human impact on nature.
