La Toja island

The island of La Toja closes off a small cove of peaceful waters. It continues to display that somewhat affected elegance which was so typical of the 19th century health resorts. On the other side of the bridge and at the mouth of the estuary is O Grove, a famous fishing port, noted for its delicious seafood catches. Near here is the La Lanzada beach, whose shores were related to ancient fertility rites.
