Holiday apartment in Lago between beach and nature
Playa de Lago has fine white sand, calm surf, a straight shoreline and a length of approximately 650 metres. Praia de Lago, another beach, is also located in the immediate vicinity of Lago. Playa De Arnela, Playa de Celeiro and Playa Sacido are also located in the area around Lago.
Birdwatching in A Mariña Lucense
The area between O Portiño de Morás and Playa de Lago, particularly the lagoon at Lago beach, lies within the A Mariña Lucense birdwatching route. Numerous gulls, cormorants, great northern divers and black-throated divers can be observed on the coast near Playa de Lago in winter.
Coastal route and viewpoints around Lago
The Xove section of the Camino Natural de la Ruta del Cantábrico is 12.5 kilometres long and runs from Playa de Lago to Playa de Esteiro. This section is a coastal route of moderate difficulty. The 12.5-kilometre length and moderate difficulty are specific factors to consider when planning a day of hiking along this coast. Along its route, the path runs along the boundary of the ZEC, LIC and ZEPA Costa de la Mariña Occidental and, in some sections, enters and exits these areas. For your planning, this section combines a specific route length with coastal scenery and a connection to nature.
There are also three named viewpoints in the area around Lago: Miradoiro do Monte Faro, Miradoiro de San Roque and Mirador do Pirixel. They expand the selection with additional landscape destinations, making them suitable for a stay in which you would like to combine beach days with observing the surroundings and enjoying different views.
Culture and Feria Caballar
Lago is home to the Hórreo da Barxa, which is made entirely of stone. The Gruta de Lourdes Museum is also located in the area around Lago. The Feria Caballar in Lago provides a distinctive highlight: it is organised by the Asociación Equina A Medela and has a national character. Hundreds of horses from across the country take part, including crossbreeds as well as Arabian and Spanish purebred horses. The Feria Caballar is associated with the third Sunday in May.
