Lago de Sanabria and the Segundera and Porto Mountain Ranges Natural Park
Galerie des images
Discover the Lago de Sanabria and the Segundera and Porto Mountain Ranges Natural Park, an impressive corner in the northwest of Zamora. In its heart is Lake Sanabria, the largest glacial lake on the Iberian Peninsula. Observe the geological phenomena that created it, from valleys to glacial cirques and more than 20 scattered lagoons.
Immerse yourself in history by visiting the place where the Cistercian monks of San Martín de Castañeda left their mark. Enjoy the symphony of forests that surround the lake, enriching biodiversity with species such as oak, holly, yew and alder. Discover streams, springs and lagoons that create a unique habitat for aquatic flora in clean waters.
Spot wildlife with mammals such as wolves, wild boars and otters, along with 17 diurnal raptors that watch the skies. In summer, take advantage of the beaches such as Arenales de Vigo-Los Enanos, El Folgoso, Custa Llago and Viquiella to enjoy water activities and sail around the lake on the Helios-Sanabria, the world's first wind-solar catamaran.
