Mirador Monteferro

This viewpoint, located on the peninsula of Monteferro, is one of the most frequented in Nigrán due to its proximity to the beaches and its easy access. On weekends, it is usually a very busy place, as the ascent to Monteferro offers numerous options, such as enjoying its picnic area, exploring routes through the forest, visiting the Punta Lameda lighthouse, discovering an abandoned cannon battery and exploring its charming coves; in short, an ideal place to spend a lovely day.

From this viewpoint, you can admire the Estelas Islands and, in the distance, the town of Baiona. If we move a little around the area, we will discover several points from where you can also see the wonderful Cíes Islands and the coastline towards Vigo.

At the top of Monteferro, the Monument to the Universal Navy, a granite monolith dedicated to all sailors who died at sea, stands out. In this area, you can find parking without any difficulty.

Just in front of the monolith, there is a picnic area (or recreational area), and going into it, we reach the viewpoint.
