Find out more about Mount Pindo

A must-see in Carnota, Monte Pindo rises from the sea itself like a 642-metre-high giant. In the form of a granite mass, full of mystery, it houses countless legends. It is also said that the Galician Celts worshipped the sun on Monte Pindo, making it their Olympus, and there are many references to it in Galician literature, which has helped to establish its mythical character.

Popular tradition holds that the remains of Queen Lupa rest on Mount Pindus along with a priceless treasure that has been searched for countless times.

The work of erosion has turned this massif into a striking assemblage of strange zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures, which the popular imagination often attributed to supernatural forces. It will be enough to take a careful look around us to surprise us by observing rocks that suddenly turn into giants, warriors, turtles, eagles and as many other beings as our imagination wants.

Walking through these places we can find specimens of dwarf oak, a small shrub that rarely exceeds a meter and a half in height, with a tendency to grow horizontally.
