Coto das Gralleiras rises to 1,448 metres and forms part of the chain of peaks that dominates the horizon between Galicia and Portugal. Its name recalls the traditional presence of grallas, birds associated with mountain crags, while today the area also provides a valuable refuge for numerous species adapted to high-mountain ecosystems.
From the Mirador do Pisco, visitors can admire the succession of granite ridges and open slopes that characterise the Xurés, creating a dramatic and striking mountain landscape. Vegetation adapted to the harsh climatic conditions grows among rocky outcrops that bear witness to a long geological history.
The view of this peak reveals the park’s remarkable natural and scenic richness, a landscape where biodiversity and geology are inseparably intertwined.
