Outeiro Grande Viewpoint

Perched atop Monte da Serra at almost 800 metres above sea level, Outeiro Grande Viewpoint has become one of the most remarkable panoramic spots in inland Galicia. From this natural balcony, sweeping views unfold across valleys, hills and villages of the A Estrada region, offering a breathtaking landscape that invites visitors to pause and take in the scenery.

Its most distinctive feature is the famous horseshoe bench, an original handcrafted structure that has become a symbol of the site and a must-see attraction for those seeking a memorable photograph. The combination of nature, rural tradition and far-reaching views makes this a particularly appealing destination for travellers, hikers and photography enthusiasts.

The area is also renowned for its tranquillity and its sense of immersion in unspoilt nature. At sunrise and sunset, the changing light transforms the landscape into a picture-perfect scene, while clear nights provide excellent conditions for stargazing.

Outeiro Grande Viewpoint is not only known for its spectacular panoramic views and unique horseshoe bench, but also for being part of the “Baixo o Ceo das Rías Baixas” Astrotourism Network, an initiative that promotes some of the finest locations in the province for observing the night sky. Thanks to its elevation, low light pollution and wide horizon, this site offers exceptional conditions for enjoying the stars, meteor showers and the Milky Way. During the day, visitors can admire a landscape stretching from the inland valleys to the Ría de Arousa on clear days; after sunset, the viewpoint becomes a privileged window to the universe.
