Rosa de los vientos en Monteferro (Nigrán)

La Rosa de los Vientos de Monteferro is a tile strategically placed in one of the areas with the best views of the peninsula.

It is a tile of 30 cm x 30 cm painted and decorated where you can see the wind rose with the orientations north, south, east and west. From its location you can see the Atlantic sea in all its splendor and the impressive Cies Islands.

In the same area, where we can find the compass rose, we can also see, under a rock, a small lighthouse that seems to be made by the same person who made the rose (in principle, unknown).

How to get to La Rosa de los Vientos:

Monteferro, one of the essential places that you must visit if you come to Nigrán or if you spend your vacations in Vigo or in the Rias Baixas. If you go by car, it is best to leave it parked in a large area after passing the houses and before the great straight that ascends to the top of Monteferro. From here, walk along the track that goes to the right and, after a few hundred meters, you will see that the road splits into three.The path on the right goes to the Punta Lameda lighthouse; the one on the left to the monument to the Universal Navy and the Monteferro Viewpoint; and the central path will take us to the J-3 Monteferro gun battery and also to our destination.

Continuing along this central path, we will reach the military battery, passing by several buildings in ruins and where we can see the cannons dating from the 30s of last century. We will continue along the path until we reach an esplanade in the forest with a picnic area.

From the picnic area, follow the path towards the sea (enjoying the wonderful views) and at this point, the path continues to the left. A few meters away, you will find an entrance to some rocks, and there is the COMPASS ROSE. This privileged place offers incredible views of the Cíes Islands, the Estelas Islands and the coastline of the Baiona Coast.
