A perfect combination of coastal and mountain landscapes, rivers and estuary, which are also of great importance and natural diversity. To enjoy nature, it is not necessary to go far from the city centre. In recent years, the banks of the river L\u00e9rez, as well as the Rons and the Gafos have been recovered as leisure areas with several river paths.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;sec-120&#8243; el_id=&#8221;info-container&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243; el_class=&#8221;sidebar-enlaces&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;barralateralquehacer&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;9\/12&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]<h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">River L\u00e9rez - Illa das Esculturas<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221;]The river L\u00e9rez constitutes a natural framework of undeniable environmental value that serves as a link between the urban and rural part of the municipality of Pontevedra. It rises at an altitude of 900 metres in the Serra do Cand\u00e1n, and flows for more than 61 kilometres before emptying its waters into the Pontevedra estuary. It is at its mouth where it gives rise to an ecosystem unique to the Galician coasts, with a series of natural peculiarities. The greatest ecological interest of the coastal front lies in the intertidal habitats, sandy and muddy intertidal and subtidal banks and marshes. This whole area is a Site of Community Interest (SCI) with special protection. In this final stretch of the river and practically next to the city we find the island of sculptures or illa do Covo perfect symbiosis between nature, art and landscape. This place hosts a pioneer artistic project in Spain with which twelve works in granite by different artists related to the environment are permanently exhibited in the open air. There are several hiking trails that run along the two banks of the river and its varied and lush forest.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;9391&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>River L\u00e9rez<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">Xunqueira de Alba<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221;]The Xunqueira de Alba is one of the most interesting natural areas of the municipality, declared in 2012 as a Natural Area of Local Interest (ENIL), the first of its kind in Galicia. It is one of the best preserved marsh and wetland areas of the R\u00edas Baixas. The protected area occupies about 67 hectares with a great variety of ecosystems, plant species and fauna among which birds stand out. It is an area of great interest for the observation of migratory waterfowl and especially waders or wintering, even for some species breeding area. In the northwestern part there is an observatory on the edge of the marsh next to the small estuary that is formed in the final stretch of the river. In addition to the birds, there is a great variety of insects, especially dragonflies and butterflies, some of which are in danger of extinction, amphibians and it is also possible to observe small mammals such as otters.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;9395&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>Xunqueira de Alba<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left sec-full-imagen-titulo\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">Gafos River<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]The surroundings of the Gafos River is the second Natural Area of Local Interest (ENIL) that we find in the city.

The riverside vegetation in some areas becomes very dense, ferns, lichens, mosses, mosses, silvas, ruscos and even hops share habitat with hawthorns and oaks of important dimensions. Along the path there are three types of wooded formations: the bra\u00f1as, where willows and alders prevail; the forests, dominated by oaks, ashes, birches, poplars and alders; and the sotos, chestnut forests.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;9389&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>Gafos River<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left sec-full-imagen-titulo\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">Forest parks<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221; font_weight=&#8221;normal&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In recent years a periurban green ring has been created in the city in which some forest parks stand out.
