WOLF PIT

WOLF PIT

Discover a unique 16th century building, used for hunting wolves, located next to beaches and with a 2-metre trap.
The Foxo dos Lobos de Camariñas is a traditional construction (16th century) that was used for hunting wolves, and is unique in the province of A Coruña. It has the singularity of using the coastline as a natural barrier as it is located next to the beaches of Reira. At the top of its V-shaped walls, there is a 2-metre well where the animal would fall down after a noisy chase. The other traps in Galicia are located in the mountains of Lugo and Ourense.
