Baldaio Beach, A Coruña, Spain

Baldaio is beach, lagoon and marsh. A sandy area where you can take a deep breath and find peace and quiet in contact with nature. It is, in fact, one of the most important wetlands in Galicia and an area of special environmental protection. The sea enters the land and mixes with the fresh water that comes from the rivers in the area. This creates a space, the marsh, which is much more fertile than any farmland. The dune bar that links Baldaio to Razo stretches for three kilometres. The people of Carballes like to round off a day at the beach by walking along this extensive stretch of sandy area, with the waves caressing their feet. Ancient as the most precious of our monuments, some of these dunes are now fossilised.
