Parque "A Canuda"

Public park "A Canuda"

Salvaterra de Miño is one of the Spanish towns with the highest index of green space per inhabitant, having the A Canuda Park as an outstanding natural resource.

This park, located right on the banks of the Miño river, is considered the largest in all of Galicia, with an area of approximately 200,000 m², and is open to the public every day of the year.

Of this natural resource and source of leisure, not only should we highlight the wide variety of trees, plants, farm animals or birds that we can find, but also the inexhaustible number of recreational and sports facilities, including: the road circuit infantile (with signals and traffic lights); the large playground; the Zone assigned for traditional games (ping-pong, chess, parcheesi or ladybug tables); the Rehabilitation and gymnastics Zone for over 16 years; the ornamental fountains; the duck pond; the large lake; the outdoor amphitheater; the Exhibition of farm implements; La Huerta with medicinal plants, fruit plants or roses; the Botanical Orchid Garden (with more than 150 species); the Nature Classroom and multipurpose facilities; the municipal swimming pools (open in summer) or the tennis, soccer, basketball and skate courts.

It also has two picnic areas, one at the main entrance and the other at the second entrance next to the large playground.

Likewise, among the services offered we highlight the following: Public toilets (include bathrooms for the disabled); Drinking water sources; Outdoor picnic area (with stone tables and benches); Daily Press; Wooden benches for rest distributed throughout the park; Background music and free bicycle rental service (check availability).

In addition, the A Canuda park is the starting point for several hiking trails that run parallel to the banks of the Miño and Tea rivers. These river trails are practicable throughout the year, both on foot and by bicycle.

In short, the A Canuda Public Park is a perfect place for daily disconnection and contemplation of nature. A place, in addition, where to have fun, play or practice sport also have a place. A place to live, to feel, but, above all, to tell.
