This is a cape in Galicia in northern Spain. This coast is exposed to the intense breakers from the Atlantic Ocean and consists of rugged cliffs, occasionally interrupted by rocky beaches. The region is sparsely populated. Small villages and individual farms are mainly found in the valleys behind the mountain ridge along the coast. On the mountain ridge and the highland itself, open grass and heather vegetation dominate. In the sheltered valleys behind it grow dense forests, mainly composed of eucalyptus trees, with an undergrowth of ferns. Due to the unique bio-geographic conditions, several rare lichens also thrive.
