Discover Boaño: Coast, Trails and Holiday Apartments

Boaño is located in the parish of Traba (Santiago), where Playa de Traba beach forms a clearly named coastal point. Playa de Arnado adds another small beach along the PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba trail. Behind Playa de Arnado begins a broad path that comes from Boaño and continues towards the Campo de Almozarro recreational area. Boaño’s connection to the coast is thus reflected in the two named beaches, Playa de Traba and Playa de Arnado, each of which is connected either with the place or with the trail.

Nature and Coast

The beach of Playa de Mórdomo is located in the immediate surroundings of Boaño. The coastal places Playa de Traba, Playa de Arnado and Playa de Mórdomo thus stand alongside the landscape names that further define the surrounding area. Playa de Mórdomo adds another named coastal place to the two beach locations in the immediate vicinity.

The mountain of Borneiro and the mountain of Monte de Camelle are located in the surroundings of Boaño. Cabo Veo cape is also in the area. The three landscape features – two mountains and a cape – complement the beach locations with named points in the surrounding area. Borneiro, Monte de Camelle and Cabo Veo are therefore three distinct landscape names recorded for the area around Boaño.

The PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba trail is officially approved by the Galician Mountaineering Federation. Its route connects the place name Laxe with Traba and passes through the section near Boaño towards Campo de Almozarro. The trail name PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba thus remains connected with the small beach of Playa de Arnado and the broad path behind this beach.

The Ruta 7 Laxe–Soesto–Boaño–Monte Lagoa–Coéns–Lourido–Laxe runs from Playa de Arnado through Boaño to the Mirador de Monte da Lagoa viewpoint. Its name lists the additional stops Soesto, Monte Lagoa, Coéns and Lourido.
