In general, nothing has been done except to emphasize their potential as places of great landscape and natural beauty, with views of the estuary, the valley of O Salnés or the mouth of the Umia, but “abandoned and in any case they did not appear. a significant environmental degradation” and all this through “minimal intervention,” Lago emphasized. Basically, the work consists of cleaning and preparing the land, making it possible to access and install some furniture and information panels about the landscape and flora and fauna, in addition to decorating them of some sculptures donated by the Escola de Canteiros de Pontevedra.
