CLIFFS OF VIXÍA DE HERBEIRA TOUR

Vixía de Herbeira, at an altitude of 615 metres, is the roof of the Sierra de A Capelada, forming part of the highest cliffs in continental Europe. This means that from Herbeira you can enjoy spectacular views of the Galician north coast, in a coastal stretch open to the Atlantic. The force of the wind, the smell of the sea and the image of powerful waves hitting an emerald green coast are the arguments offered by this viewpoint, an ancient point of surveillance of the coast.
