Mountains of Galicia, Spain

The Serra da Raíña Loba is one of the mountain ranges of southern Galicia [es] and is located between A Limia and the Serra do Larouco [es]. It is made up of the Gomariz mountain range and the Cebreiro mountains. Its composition is mainly granite. The range gets its name from the historic Raíña Loba.

Background

It holds important areas of oak forest with birches, European Pears and oaks. Another part is repopulated with pines and the rest are bushes and rocks.
