Mariñas Coruñesas Biosphere Reserve | Galicia

In this episode of Paisajes Sonoros, we delve into the Mariñas Coruñesas Biosphere Reserve, a place where nature, culture, and sustainability harmoniously intertwine. We discover how its inhabitants have worked to preserve this unique environment, making the reserve the first certified ecotourism destination in Galicia.
We explore the cultural richness of Betanzos, with its impressive medieval heritage and iconic sites like the Plaza de la Constitución and the Pazo de Mariñán, a 15th-century architectural treasure. We also get a taste of the local gastronomy at the restaurant A Artesa da Moza Crecha, where chef Paula Martínez Calviño crafts a menu that celebrates native and seasonal products.
Additionally, we enjoy sustainable activities, such as kayaking and paddle surfing offered by Onda do Pedrido, allowing visitors to admire the natural beauty of the Mandeo River. This episode pays tribute to the Galician community that comes together to respect and coexist with nature, demonstrating that conscious and responsible tourism is both possible and essential for the future.
