[edit] History and Tourism

• The peninsula of Estaca de Bares penetrates considerably into the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay, and as a result it is one of the rainiest places in Europe, with more than 2,500 mm a year.

These special weather conditions have created over the centuries a unique ecosystem and biodiversity which have made it possible for this area to be declared an Area of National Natural Interest.

• The history of Estaca de Bares Point is very rich. The ruins of the Phoenician Salt Fish Factory and the Phoenician Port are open to visitors.
