Estuary
Ría de Ortigueira
A wide, shallow estuary with marshes, sandbanks and rich birdlife.
The Ortigueira estuary is one of the most important in northern Galicia. At low tide, sandbanks and channels emerge, feeding many species.
Marsh and reeds make a landscape of water and light that shifts through the day. To see it well, use the surrounding viewpoints and respect protected areas.
