										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Mariñas Coruñesas and Terras del Mandeo Biosphere Reserve&#8221; encompasses the territory of 17 municipalities: Abegondo, Aranga, Arteixo, Bergondo, Cambre, Carral, Coirós, Culleredo, Curtis, Irixoa, Miño, Oleiros, Oza-Cesuras, Paderne, Sada, Sobrado, and Betanzos, where the riverside walk dos Caneiros is located. In these two large basins, those of the Mero and Mandeo rivers, natural forests full of river corridors stand out, hosting much of the relevant biodiversity of the Reserve, offering us a multitude of activities to discover, such as enjoying a hiking route along the Camino fluvial dos Caneiros on the banks of the Mandeo river. The route is a round trip along the same path. It starts at the Puente Viejo, in the urban center of the town of Betanzos. Due to its layout, the route is considered low difficulty, running along the Mandeo river and reaching the popular Campo de Os Caneiros, the site of the important Romería dos Caneiros as part of the San Roque festival. Besides this route, in the Mariñas Coruñesas and Terra do Mandeo Biosphere Reserve you can undertake: birdwatching routes of &#8220;O Bosque Animado&#8221; at the Abegondo-Cecebre Reservoir or the Mandeo birdwatching observatories, as well as cycling routes or Coastal Routes along 109 kilometers. The visitor center located in Chelo has all the necessary information to explore this environment. The interpretation center is equipped with an interesting permanent exhibition about the environmental values of this natural space, with the information you need about the itinerary and its surroundings. Betanzos boasts one of the most important historic-artistic ensembles in the community, and a section of the English Way of the Camino de Santiago passes through its streets. It is worth remembering that this town was the capital of one of the seven provinces of the old Kingdom of Galicia. The path runs along Rúa Prateiros to reach the central square of Irmáns García Naveira.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[El Pedrido is a site classified as a Betanzos-Mandeo Site of Community Importance (SCI), it is also of Community Interest and is part of the Natura 2000 Network. In this area at the mouth of the Mandeo River, sedimentary formations and marshes appear. The marsh is a habitat of regional importance for migratory marsh birds that use Galicia&#8217;s wetlands as a resting point during their annual migrations.

The Pedrido bridge is located over the Betanzos estuary and has connected both shores since its construction years (1939 to 1942).

The time lost by going around the estuary (since an 8-kilometer detour was necessary) and the limitation on the goods that could be transported by barge restricted the development of the area for many years, making the construction of a bridge connecting the two shores essential. The construction, which actually began in 1920, was halted due to various problems, including the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

Several engineers and companies participated in its construction. The works resumed in 1939 followed the project of engineer César Villalba, although he did not manage to complete the work. The most representative element of the bridge is the large central arch of 75 meters with a 12.50-meter rise, featuring two hinges and a lower deck, suspended by pendulums spaced 3.65 meters apart, a work by Eduardo Torroja Miret, the same engineer who designed the finishing project between 1941 and 1942. The bridge was officially inaugurated on April 15, 1943, and was significant news as demonstrated by its coverage in both the written press and the famous NO-DO.

As mentioned, the construction of this bridge not only gave an impetus to the populations on both sides of the estuary but also improved communications between A Coruña and Ferrol.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ponte do Porco is a small settlement located at the entrance of the Miño municipality from the neighboring municipality of Paderne. The name originates from the coat of arms of the House of Andrade and the boar&#8217;s head that can be seen on the 14th-century medieval bridge. The &#8220;Ponte do Porco&#8221; bridge was built by order of Fernán Pérez de Andrade so that pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela could cross the Lambre River as it passes through Miño. Its name also comes from a legend that circulates throughout the municipality, which tells of an impossible love.

In 1978, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts dedicated a monument to the Andrade family in the center of the place. It is a cruceiro with a pig and a cross on top, which can be considered a victory of good over evil. It was created by the sculptor from Compostela, Alfonso Sanmartín, in 1962. It is based on the cruceiros that the Andrade family placed on the main buildings of their fief to identify their house.

In the surroundings of Ponte do Porco, right at the mouth of the Lambre River, we find Playa Alameda, a rural area with a promenade shaped like a half shell, with white fine sand. With an average width of 50 meters and a length of 450 meters, it is located in a protected area of the Natura 2000 Network and included in the Betanzos-Mandeo natural space.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ten kilometers from Boiro is the A Figueira viewpoint, also known as Coto da Filloa. The word &#8220;coto&#8221; in this case refers to the highest part of a hill, which generally has a conical shape and gives it greater verticality. This viewpoint is located in the place called A Figueira and belongs to the parish of Cures (Santo André).

From here, you get a panoramic view of the Ría de Arousa, with the perfectly aligned batea polygons. Straight ahead, you can see Vilagarcía de Arousa, with A Illa de Arousa in the middle of the estuary, and closing the southern part, the O Grove peninsula and the small rocky island of Pombeiro, where the waves crash. Protecting the estuary is the island of Sálvora with the islets of Noro, Vionta, and Herboso forming a unique landscape. On days of greater visibility, you can also see the Ons islands to the south, as well as the Cíes archipelago and even Monte Santa Trega, which rises at the mouth of the Miño River forming the border with Portugal. In this place, we can also enjoy the presence of wild horses.

Very close to this site is the &#8220;Ruta de las mámoas,&#8221; formed by about 30 funerary monuments dating back thousands of years. This location would have been an optimal place to watch over the territory, orient oneself, and defend their families.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Pico da Muralla viewpoint is located in the parish of Araño (Rianxo), at the highest part of Monte da Muralla. It stands at an altitude of 678 meters above sea level overlooking the Ría de Arousa. It is situated in a border area between two municipalities, Rianxo (Arousa Norte) and Lousame (Noia region). The viewpoint consists of a wooden walkway that ends in a wider rounded area, allowing visitors to feel as if they are flying above the landscape.

From here, you can enjoy views of Rianxo, A Illa de Arousa, Illa de Cortegada, and the Illas Cíes extending to Noia and Monte Louro. On clear days, the interior area of Galicia can be seen, including municipalities such as Santiago de Compostela, Teo, Padrón, Pontecesures, and Valga, among others.

This mountain was largely unknown until this spectacular viewpoint was inaugurated. Additionally, it is also interesting during winter, as visitors can enjoy playing in the snow, which occasionally appears in this area during that season.

This space was inaugurated by the Conselleiro de Medio Rural, José González, on February 19, 2020. The project was funded with resources from the Senlleiro rural development project. The event was also attended by the mayors of Lousame, Teresa Villaverde, and Rianxo, Adolfo Muíños.

One of the characteristics of this viewpoint is the intensity of the wind. The air makes walking difficult and sometimes brings tears to the eyes, but it never diminishes the experience of ascending to this place that seems suspended in midair. On the contrary, it is an added attraction to visit and enjoy the pure air of the area.

The route to this place is recommended for all types of visitors: athletes, families with children, couples of all ages, or groups of young people. The ascent is made via a winding and narrow road until reaching the viewpoint. It is recommended to walk the last unpaved stretch on foot. To ensure visitors do not miss any detail of the area&#8217;s geography, panels have been installed that allow them to identify what they see from this vantage point.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Galician hórreo is a specific construction of the autonomous community. Its use was agricultural and it was intended to dry and store corn, as well as other cereals before shelling and grinding them. It played an essential role, as it was the best way to preserve the grain away from moisture and animals such as birds, insects, and rodents that could devour and spoil it. Currently, some of these constructions are still used for the conservation and storage of potatoes, onions, and garlic.

The hórreo consists of an oblong, narrow storage chamber that is permeable to air passage. It is elevated from the ground to prevent the entry of moisture and animals. In Galicia, three basic types of hórreo coexist: the Galician type (also called &#8220;Galician-Portuguese&#8221;) made of chestnut wood, stone, or mixed; the Asturian type; and the hórreo de varas. The latter, less elaborate, includes small lightweight portable granaries made of plant materials. It is estimated that in 2004 there were 30,000 hórreos.

Traditionally, these constructions have a rectangular floor plan, although there are square, round, L-shaped, and even an octagonal one in A Fonsagrada (Lugo). The most predominant shape is rectangular, which can be more or less elongated. The longest hórreo in Galicia is the one in Araño and is located within an estate enclosed by a stone wall that belongs to the rectory. It was built in the mid-17th century, representing a display of the economic power that the rural Galician clergy achieved at that time. With dimensions of 37.05 meters in length, 2.40 meters in width, and an average height of 2.70 meters, this hórreo is built of stone and has a double-pitched tile roof. It features upper finishes with a central cross and two small pyramidal figures on the sides. Two doors open on its longitudinal side facing the church of Santa Baia. Currently, there is only one access staircase. The construction rests on a continuous stone base, with the &#8220;tornaratos&#8221; protruding at the top of this base. It serves to prevent rodents from reaching the harvest; mice can climb vertically but never turn upside down. Thus, when they reach the &#8220;tornaratos,&#8221; they fall without reaching the interior of the hórreo.

The larger capacity hórreos were usually located near rectory houses and churches, since part of the gross product of the harvests, the tithe, one-tenth, was what the faithful gave to the church as a contribution.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Castro da Cidá is located at the westernmost tip of the Barbanza peninsula, on a small mountain with an altitude of 210 meters. This hill, due to its panoramic views, became a strategic location. From it, you can observe the Ría de Arousa, Cabo Corrubedo, its town, and the Parque Natural do Complexo dunar de Corrubedo, lagoas de Carregal e Vixán. More than 2500 years ago, it was chosen as the settlement for a community belonging to the castreña culture. The occupied archaeological complex extends over about 20,000 square meters. It is one of the oldest castros in Galicia, dating from the Iron Age, structured around a small natural oval enclosure measuring approximately 98 x 65 meters. It is surrounded by two walls encircling a village and a third partial outer wall located at the most defensively vulnerable access point. At the highest level, there are parts of circular and square-shaped dwellings. This fortification is perfectly protected from external attacks. On one side, its north and west faces have embankments that make ascending this acropolis very difficult. On the east and south sides, it is flanked by natural rocks acting as a defensive wall.

At the highest part of the mountain, near the geodetic vertex, a large rock with several potholes and channels can be observed. It is believed they may have had a sacred and ritual past.

All access doors of these constructions face a central space, suggesting a possible construction with a studied urban layout. Archaeologists highlight the absence of &#8220;lareiras&#8221; (hearths), cooking ovens, and utensils typical of daily life, leading them to suppose it was an artisanal area within the castro.

Additionally, a more modern construction has been found that takes advantage of the foundation of two Galician huts. This corresponds to a watchtower used to monitor navigation against the British naval threat and dates from the late 18th century. Among the items found, the greatest discovery was five glass paste beads, which archaeologists believe were part of a necklace or bracelet.

Below the castro, to the west, rises the rock known as Pedra de A Rá (the Frog). A viewpoint has been built on it to observe the best panoramas of the entrance to the mouth of the Ría de Arousa, as well as the island of Sálvora and much of the Parque Natural do Complexo dunar de Corrubedo, lagoas de Carregal e Vixán, in addition to its town and the cape that bears its name.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The castros of Neixón are located on a small peninsula situated inside the ría de Arousa, specifically in one of the innermost areas of it, located to the NNE. Its location is strategic in relation to the maritime trade circuit; at the same time, its placement must be related to the mining wealth of the area. This zone achieved significant local development of bronze and iron metallurgy during much of the first millennium B.C., known as the Iron Age, a period in which the so-called castro culture developed. The first studies at the beginning of the last century, following some surprising discoveries made by amateurs and scholars connected to the area, sparked the interest of researchers from various academic and scientific institutions. The interest of these intellectuals is due to the fact that human occupation was detected in Neixón during the transition between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, with Neixón Pequeño being one of the castros with the latest occupation in the entire Northwestern peninsula. At the same time, these early studies highlighted the existence of significant metallurgical activity mainly of bronze, although with evidence of iron smelting. Later, in the 1970s, with the appearance of aríbalos (containers for aromatic oils made of polychrome glass of Punic origin), it was confirmed that Neixón maintained long-distance trade contacts, specifically with the Mediterranean world. In the 1980s, the Neixón archaeological complex became a degraded and marginal space; tracks were opened, forest plantations were made, and numerous garbage dumps appeared. In 1996, a new stage began for Neixón, as the regional administration together with the municipal authorities considered the possibility of revaluing the archaeological complex. Subsequently, around the year 2000 and under the project for the creation of the Galician Network of Archaeological Heritage (2001), part of the archaeological structures exposed to the open air since the early 20th century were consolidated and restored. In 2003, systematic archaeological excavations began with the intention, among others, of characterizing the archaeological site and continuing the process of revaluing the archaeological complex, which continues to this day.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[A Ponte Vella is almost certainly the oldest bridge in Betanzos. It is already mentioned in the year 1200 and is currently the natural exit for pilgrims traveling the English Way to Santiago de Compostela. It is a bridge built of ashlar masonry with a single arch and parapets. It was blown up in 1809 by the English on their way to A Coruña, and its repair was carried out with oak beams and planks. Later, in 1839, it was rebuilt in stone, which is the appearance we can see today except for the coat of arms with the town&#8217;s arms that were added in 1846. The Convent of the Augustinian Recollects is located in the historic center of Betanzos. It was built between the 17th and 18th centuries during the reign of Charles V, which is why the convent displays his coat of arms alongside that of Betanzos. The entire complex is built of stone. The cloister dates back to the 16th century. The convent of the Augustinian Recollects belongs to the religious order of the Augustinians. Cloistered nuns live there. The convent is situated right in the urban center of the city.]]></content:encoded>
