The Budiño Lighthouse is a splendid vantage point that looks over surrounding areas and partly covers the municipalities of Mos, Porriño, Salceda de Caselas and Tui. It is also a singular nature space due to the mass of rock that makes up its summit. The Budiño Lighthouse has routes of varying difficulties that take you to the top. There is a mountain shelter and a climbing route too. The rock has a crack through which one can walk. On its inside we find a Catabún, a piece of rock which makes a great noise when moved and can be heard over many kilometres.Granite mass situated at 398 metres above sea level.

Council: Gondomar
Localization: Vincios parish
This is the highest mountain in Gondomar and in the entire Miñor Valley. Its peak is accessible through different routes, each with its own difficulty level, which is why it is highly appreciated by hikers because it is apt for all ages and physical conditions. The rocky formation that makes up the crown is gneiss, solid rock that rarely comes to the surface as can be seen here. It is one of the less than half a dozen cases that exist in the world. There are several official routes on the mountainside, amongst which is the GR-58, called the Sendeiro das Greas.It is at a height of 705 m above sea level. Regular bus lines from Vigo-Gondomar and Vigo-Gondomar-Tomiño stop just a few metres from the ascending route to the summit.

Localization: The Groba Mountains
Mount Groba, also called the Groba Mountains, is a massif that extends from Baiona to A Guarda, and runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. It is a natural habitat for horses and cattle that graze freely and this leads to the popular round up of horses reared in the wild called ""curros"", which takes place in the summer. Streams, woods, vantage points, and paths through the mountains are some of the attractions of this land through which one can go horse riding, by bicycle, on foot and even by car. It is the highest point of the municipality at 648 metres. From the Cortelliño vantage point, one can get a wide view over the Atlantic Ocean and to the East, of Baiona Bay and Vigo Bay.
