This area is located between the rías (estuaries) of Vigo and Pontevedra, at the westernmost point of the peninsula of Morrazo. It comprises the sandy areas of Nerga, Viñó and Barra, with dune systems and pine forests. It also has over 150-metre high cliffs stretching from the lighthouse of Cabo Home to Punta Couso and Monte do Facho, and an old castro (hillfort settlement) and sanctuary located 160 metres above sea level. It is an excellent natural viewpoint over both estuaries.
