Bird watchingGalicia, straddling the border of the Euro-Siberian and the Mediterranean biogeographical regions, possesses a highly varied terrain. Mountainous areas with extensive woods and scrublands, interesting canyons and river valleys, diverse wetlands and well-conserved farming landscapes, together with 1,300 km of coastline, form a mosaic of unusual habitats in which it is possible to observe many different species of birds. Its strategic position, being the most westerly point of the iberian peninsula, makes this an extraordinary place to view seabird migrations.
Galicia is home to a large number of protected natural spaces, outstanding examples of which include a national park, six natural parks, fourteen special protection areas for birds and five wetlands declared to be of international importance by the Ramsar Convention. |
