Arqueological site

In addition to its beauty and to the breathtaking views that it offers over the coastal towns of Arousa and the mussel rafts or bateas, Areoso also has potential at an archaeological level. The excavations performed there brought to light one of the most important sites in Galicia. The island has exposed five megalithic monuments and five box structures made of stone. There is evidence of occupation during the Bronze and Neolithic ages.
