that goes along the route of an old mining railway on the
coast.
When the weather is warm, it is a really popular place among
walkers of all ages, and, when the sea is rough, it is
impressive to see the force of the waves there.
7. Serantes is a mountain near Gallarta. On Easter Monday, people from
Gallarta and its surroundings climb to the top and spend the day there.
In the past, during war periods, Mount Serantes was used as a refuge
and a look-out because of its exceptional position to watch the enemy.
