Great view and interesting historical side note. There’s a memorial to a passenger plane shot down in the 2nd world war. It has on board the actor Leslie Howard and it’s thought that the plane was deliberately targeted to get rid of him. 17 other people were killed.

The path is easy to walk, and there's a wooden walkway opposite the waterfall that offers a good view. It's worth sitting down; there are lots of dragonflies and amphibians.

A large stone fountain with two taps, located right at the entrance to the Santa Comba beach parking lot.

A beautiful, wide, and well-maintained promenade, with a wide sidewalk for pedestrians and a bike lane along almost the entire length. You can walk from the entrance to the port of Ferrol to the entrance to the tunnel at the La Graña naval base, covering many kilometers to enjoy the beautiful maritime landscape, which sometimes blends with wooded areas.

Start (or end, depending on how you choose 😅) of a walk or bike ride under the trees and overlooking the lake. Halfway there's a birdwatching point.
