Monte de Santa Trega lies in the municipality of A Guarda, in the south-eastern corner of Pontevedra.
Santa Trega, was declared a National Cultural Heritage Monument in 1939 and is also a Property of Cultural Interest.
From the top of the mountain, you have some marvellous views of, for example, the Río Miño (the natural border between Spain and Portugal), Caminha (a Portuguese village) or of the Atlantic Ocean.
At the mouth of the Río Miño, you can see the island of A Ilha Ínsua, which belongs to Portugal. It houses a building that dates from the XVth century. It was a convent until it became a military fort a century later.

As I have mentioned on several occasions, Asturias is a perfect autonomous region where to do tourism. The combination of the mountainside and coast, which are within a short distance of each other, make this region an ideal destination to enjoy your holiday. A clear example is Cabrales, a municipality in east Asturias; half of its territory lies in the National Park of the Picos de Europa and it is also very close to the Cantabrian Sea.
Cabrales is perfect for rural tourism, active tourism and natural tourism. You can walk through its lush forests or hike along the desert-like limestone rock of the Picos de Europa, all in the same day. You can do very easy and pleasant routes in this municipality, for example, the famous Senda del Cares, also known as the Garganta Divina (divine gourge), which is a ravine that was formed by a glacier. You can climb the emblematic Picu Arriellu (Naranjo de Bulnes), climb up the renown Torrecerrado, or fish and simply enjoy the gurgling rivers Cares and Casaño…
But Cabrales is not just countryside and amazing natural spots… Cabrales is also history, culture, gastronomy and a perfect combination of all three.

Many people choose to visit Asturias, particularly for rural and activity based tourism especially because both can be combined to offer a great variety of possibilities, such as the route I shall show you here. It’s a short route, of low difficulty, apt for everyone, and where you’ll enjoy both hill-walking, nature and a wonderful day out on the border of civilisation. I’ll talk about the route that runs through the Vega de Orandi until Covadonga and I’ll show you a video with some corners which you can enjoy on your walk.
The entire route runs through the National Park of the Picos de Europa, where you’ll find rocky paths, forests and meadows.
We begin our adventure in Moferos, 4km from Covagadonga on the road that will take us to the Lakes of Covadonga. Leer más »

TOURISM VIDEOS IN INTERNET
Jul 15, 2011 News, Tourism News, TN, Tourism, Tourism, Natural Tourism, Rural Tourism
Nowadays, almost every company has a website containing all their products and offers. The important increase in these websites is resulting in the simple fact that just having a website is not enough to break into such a competitive sector as tourism.
The content of these webs are vitally important to make contact with possible clients. Hence the importance of providing transparent content that transmits confidence, reassurance and credibility to the tourist, thus achieving a connection between the visitor and the company.
One of the most important tools, perhaps the most important to achieve this contact, is videos.
