Santa Cruz Island
NatureVisit: ~90 minFree
Small round island of a little under two hectares, covered in trees and gardens, reached by a wooden bridge from Porto de Santa Cruz. On it stands the Castillo de Santa Cruz, a 16th-century fortress that gradually lost its defensive function until it became a pazo (manor house) and that is now the seat of the CEIDA, with exhibitions, courses, a permanent collection and a library, as well as guided tours. A coastal path rings the island and links by a footbridge with the rest of the promenade, offering views over the inlet and a setting of well-preserved ecosystems.
