Natural Park of the Corrubedo Dune Complex and the Carregal and Vixán Lagoons

In Corrubedo Park, it is the dunes that mark, with their advances and retreats, the extension and shape of this natural site.

Found in the province of A Coruña, in the southwest of the Barbanza peninsula, the nature reserve of the Corrubedo dune complex and Carregal and Vixán Lagoons is mainly made up of crops, pine forests, marshland, dunes and beaches. The mobile dune is more than 1 kilometre long, about 250 metres wide and 20 metres high. The Park is home to a flood zone, with lagoons and a dune belt that is responsible, through its movement, for delimiting the park complex. In these lagoons there are meadows of reeds and salicornias. Bird life is also very important, with species such as the Kentish Plover, great northern diver, grey heron, little egret, cormorants and mallards. There are reptiles such as the Galician lizard or amphibians such as the Iberian newt and, as for mammals, otters, hedgehogs, genets and squirrels stand out.
