Facing the immensity of the Atlantic
The Garita da Vela, in Espasante, is a coastal observation point whose name evokes its historical function as a lookout post or watchtower. It is believed to have served as a base for a military detachment dedicated to guarding the Loiba coast and the entrance to the estuary against possible invasions and marine incursions during the 18th century.
Today, this function has been transformed into a privilege for visitors, who can enjoy spectacular views of the coastline, the cliffs and the immensity of the Atlantic, with the profile of the Ortigueira estuary, in the distance.
