Fuciño do Porco, one of the great tourist resources of the Marina Lucense

  • The trail racked up 45,200 visitors this summer.

 

Fuciño do Porco is one of the most impressive trails in northern Galicia. And to visit it in high season (or in other words, during the months of July and August) it is necessary to make a prior reservation.

 

With the end of this high season, the Council of O Vicedo has already published the total figures for this summer, where up to 45,200 people came to this tourist enclave to enjoy the impressive views it offers. Between July and August, between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., access is allowed, upon reservation, to a maximum of 75 people.

 

Last summer, the trail received 43,788 registered visitors; and in 2021, 44,461 people made reservations to visit the viewpoint. With these data, we see that the hiking route maintains a notable and stable number of visitors over time, consolidating itself as one of the great tourist resources of the Marina Lucense.

 

The viewpoint, which is accessed through a route that runs along wooden walkways and some stairs, stands at the entrance to the Viveiro estuary, above Pereira beach and Arena Grande. The route has a distance of 3.7 kilometers (round trip), with a duration of approximately 2 hours, and of easy difficulty.

 

The enclave enjoys spectacular views. From this vantage point you can see the islands of Gabeira, Insua, Coelleira, the tips of the Roncadoiro Lighthouse and Estaca de Bares, and see the bottom of the Covas estuary, Viveiro, and the port of Celeiro.
