Active tourism

Mar de Santiago is a green destination thanks to its privileged location, which consists of areas bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the Ulla River. The region’s relief, with low, worn-down mountains, favours the flowing of streams, the work of waterwheels in the past and different routes, of medium-low difficulty, for sports enthusiasts. Albariño wineries, a kart circuit in Valga and other outdoor leisure activities complete this sea-river route’s range of active tourism options.
