Landscape explanation « Atrás    
Description of the landscape.

Explanation

The Sar River has 42 kilometres long. It starts in the Parroquia de Bando (Santiago de Compostela) and it finishes in the Ulla River (Padrón). It goes throw all the Coruña Province. Its trivutaries are the Sarela, the Roxos, the Tinto and the Rois. We are studying since the river passes through bertamirans to where the mills are. In total there are 3.92 km although the walking path is 5.22 km. It is a rural, inland landscape. There are a lot of fields around. There are also the most of the old houses of Bertamirans next to the river, because now the most of the houses of Bertamirans are new.

Simmilarities:
-I think that all the Galician rivers have got a very beautifull River Forest.
-Normaly there are the same animals in the river: butterflies, frogs, birds, bees, ducks, "zapateros"
-In all the Galician Rivers there are bridges
-In all the rivers there are crop fields and human animals around.

Differences:
-In this River there are mills.
-There is a puryfing plant next to the river.
-Not all the rivers have an web in the sides.
-There is a Fluvial Walk.

Elements detracting from your landscape
-The human contamination
-The intentional fires
-The big houses around the river
- The human that step on the vegetation while walking

Recommendations for environment sustainability
- Prohibit bonfires
- Ask the council for a larger water treatment plant.
- Replace the network that is on the side of the river
- Prohibit building near
- Rebuild the mills.
- Build more trails without destroying the vegetation.
- Build viewpoints where you can see flora and fauna
- Prohibit fishing

Recommendations for social sustainability
Put up posters explaining the animals and fauna in that area
Promote hiking by the river
Make celebrations for people of all races and religions.
Guided tours
Do activities for children
Organize pilgrimages for people to have a good time (picking up at the end of the garbage and without treading the vegetation).
