Galeras Park is located surrounding the river Sarela, it works as a transition from the city to a natural environment. Galeras is a great field, very convenient to take a walk, to play with children, or to practice sports. It also has on the edges some architecture, coffee shops and restaurants that give a nice view of the park.
Lake Park is one of the green spaces that, with the Bosque de Galicia and the Xardín Literario, is an artificial lake by the architectural complex of the Cidade da Cultura of Galicia, located on Monte Gaiás. The space is designed for both hiking and family enjoyment, so there are spaces dedicated to children's leisure nearby.
Carlomagno Park is part of the residential area of Polígono das Fontiñas. This green space, which occupies a slope of Monte de San Lázaro, stands out for its large area. In fact, it is an area closely linked to the phenomenon of pilgrimage, due to its proximity to the entrance road for walkers heading to Santiago de Compostela that connects with the site, the Concheiros neighborhood and, later, the San Pedro street.

This deep gorge of rock, water and curves does not leave anyone who contemplates it indifferent. Its vertical slopes continue to be the livelihood of many inhabitants of the area today, who produce excellent quality grapes on them. This place is also a refuge for multiple animal and plant species, which find in these walls and in its waters the ideal conditions to live.
