Fragas do Eume Natural Park

The protected area spans 9,000 hectares along the Eume River valley, featuring dense Atlantic forests with oak, chestnut, and birch trees.

The park, officially established in 1997, contains the San Juan de Caaveiro Monastery, a medieval structure dating back more than ten centuries.

The word 'Fraga' originates from Galician language, denoting natural woodland formations that characterize the landscape of northern Spain.

Four entrance gates provide access to the park, with guided tours of the monastery available every 45 minutes during peak visiting periods.

The park houses 103 bird species, 41 mammal species, and the Iberian frog within its temperate rainforest environment along Europe's Atlantic coast.
