Access
Access description The road between the international bridge and the town centre. There is an asphalted track in good repair which starts at the road and takes you to the end of the river trail and the park Signposting description After going through the centre of Salvaterra de Miño, in the direction of Portugal, there is a sign to the park and the river trail which runs through it. Additionally, the park and its sports facilities are clearly visible from the highway. These signs and markers are somewhat hidden, and are not very attractive. It would be a good thing if they were replaced by signs that were more tourist-friendly- Las infraestructuras del recurso están adaptadas para personas con discapacidad: Sí
