The
landscape and the environmental richness of Vilagarcía
truly deserve an approach on foot. The town council has organized
this tourist-sport-cultural activity through three routes that
wander along the two hills that shield Vilagarcía: Lobeira
and Xiabre. These two elevations, with 292 metres and 413 metres
respectively, present a remarkable view of the Arousa bay and
the mouth of the Ulla river.
The three routes, properly signposted, go trough
the main trails of these mountains, from where you can get into
contact with nature.
During the summer, Vilagarcía town council
organizes hikes with a guide for people who want to go over any
of these routes. The outing is held once a week, in the morning.
Visitor should contact the Tourism Office or
the municipal Sports Department (Fundación de Deportes)
to know the timetables and the starting point, as well as the
specific route, because the offer is changed every week.
