Boaño: Beach, Hiking Trail and Cycling Route

Boaño combines a clear connection to the beach with two different route perspectives. For planning your visit, the main points of interest are Playa de Traba, the PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba trail and the Ruta 7 Laxe–Soesto–Boaño–Monte Lagoa–Coéns–Lourido–Laxe cycling route. The descriptions mention different reference points: the PR-G 114 heads towards the Campo de Almozarro recreation area, while Ruta 7 leads to the Mirador de Monte da Lagoa viewpoint. If you are considering Boaño as a destination, you can first choose between the beach, hiking trail and cycling route, then select the places that interest you.

Playa de Traba and its connection to the area

Playa de Traba is in Boaño, in the parish of Traba (Santiago). This places the beach within both the named locality and the parish. If you are planning your trip around the beach, Playa de Traba is the specific point of reference; the route descriptions mention other destinations as well. To orient yourself, you can consider the beach information separately from the route itineraries. This keeps the beach distinct as a focus alongside the two routes.

The PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba trail

On the PR-G 114 Laxe–Traba, a wide path follows the small Playa de Arnado beach. It comes from Boaño and continues towards the Campo de Almozarro recreation area. The description thus connects three distinct points of reference: Playa de Arnado starts the sequence, Boaño is named as the origin of the wide path, and Campo de Almozarro indicates its direction. When planning your trip, you can consider this sequence alongside the route name: Laxe–Traba identifies the PR-G 114, while Arnado, Boaño and Campo explain the route described.

The main section of the PR-G 114 is 7.760 km long; an out-and-back spur measures 240 m. These figures refer to different parts of the trail and should therefore be read separately: 7.760 km applies to the main section, and 240 m to the spur. The PR-G 114 is also approved by the Galician Mountaineering Federation. This status adds another specific point of reference to the trail description, alongside its route and distances.

Ruta 7 by bike

Ruta 7 Laxe–Soesto–Boaño–Monte Lagoa–Coéns–Lourido–Laxe is the cycling route in the second description. It runs from Playa de Arnado through Boaño to the Mirador de Monte da Lagoa viewpoint. In the sequence of localities, Boaño lies between Soesto and Monte Lagoa; Coéns and Lourido follow, before Laxe appears again. This sequence gives you several names to use as reference points when planning your route. Playa de Arnado and the viewpoint mark the route described and its stated destination. As trail conditions can change, check the route's condition before setting out.

Compare route destinations based on what matters to you

The routes differ mainly in the information provided to help you find your way. For the PR-G 114, you will find the length of the main section and a separate distance for the out-and-back spur; the description also says it heads towards Campo de Almozarro. Ruta 7 can be identified by its sequence of localities and names the Mirador de Monte da Lagoa viewpoint as its destination. If distance figures are what matter to you, you can use the PR-G 114 as a reference; for the cycling route, the sequence of localities and the destination provide orientation. This lets you base your choice on specific route information.
