Iroite, Mountain summit in Porto do Son, Spain.

Monte Iroite rises to 686 meters above sea level, forming the highest point of Serra do Barbanza between the estuaries of Muros and Noia.

The summit houses Air Surveillance Squadron Number 10, a Spanish military air base established in 1980 and officially inaugurated in November 1985.

The Chans do Iroite plateau contains significant megalithic necropolis sites, including the Casota do Páramo and Arca de Barbanza funerary chambers.

The mountain offers multiple launch sites for paragliding, with directions facing West, Northwest, and North at altitudes between 640 and 670 meters.

The western slope provides direct views toward Praia de Aguieira beach, which serves as a natural landing zone for paragliders across 3,200 meters.
