Espazo Nature

Kids demanding beach action? Take the five minutes’ stroll down to Razo Beach for a choice of watersports. Near Espazo Nature, you have several other Costa da Morte beaches: the ever-shifting dunes of Baldaio Lagoon (five minutes’ drive) lend themselves to oceanside walks, expert surfers can catch reliable waves at Praia das Torradas (10 minutes), and Praia de Arnela (20 minutes) is backed by beach cafés to keep the kids fed and watered. Inland, families can go for pony rides at the Centro de Turismo Ecuestre O Ventoso (five minutes), where there’s a petting farm for younger children. Teens and petrol-heads will love the chance to drive off-road buggies at La Base Motor Club (25 minutes), and there are a couple of golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive too. If you fancy a change of pace, visit A Coruña (35 minutes). This engaging and historic maritime city is known for its ancient Roman Torre de Hércules lighthouse, the grand civic buildings in Praza de María Pita and cheeky artworks in café-lined Praza do Humor.
