Sálvora Island

The island of Sálvora, surrounded by islets, creates a rocky labyrinth guarding the northern entrance to the Arousa estuary. The landscape is mostly flat, dominated by beaches, dunes, and small rounded granite blocks known as "bolos." To the north, the village of Sálvora stands as a silent witness to an era when the island was inhabited. There, you'll find a 20th-century traditional Galician manor house: the pazo of A Seara. The lighthouse, once tended by keepers, signals this perilous area with a history of shipwrecks, including the steamship Santa Isabel in 1921. Sálvora is part of the maritime-terrestrial national park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
