Bosque de Galicia
The Sar neighbourhood is surrounded by the Bosque de Galicia (Forest of Galicia), the new green area of Santiago de Compostela. The Bosque de Galicia is located on the slopes of Mount Gaiás, on top of which stands the City of Culture of Galicia. Consisting of 24,000 hectares of natural areas, the Bosque de Galicia was conditioned during 2015 and 2016 in order to enable the planting of 6,000 trees of different native species such as willow, oak, and sweet chestnut; and a 3-kilometre-long network of paths was also laid out. At the end of the Bosque de Galicia, there is a recreational area: the Parque da Balea (Whale Park), a space for play and rest that pays tribute to a great Galician artist, Urbano Lugrís.
