Mount Pindo

Mount Pindo rises 627 meters above sea level, featuring distinct granite formations that create natural patterns across its rocky surface along the Atlantic coast.

Archaeological findings on Mount Pindo include ceramic artifacts from 6000 years ago and remnants of a 10th-century castle built for protection against sea attacks.

Local mythology considers Mount Pindo a sacred Celtic site where ancient communities performed traditional ceremonies and rituals at its highest point called A Moa.

The ascent to Mount Pindo summit requires approximately two hours of hiking through rocky terrain, making appropriate footwear and water supplies essential.

The mountain contains numerous caves and rock formations that have generated multiple folkloric tales about supernatural beings called mouros in Galician tradition.
