Climate

Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, it could be said that Cabanas does not enjoy extreme oscillation in its weather conditions neither in winter nor in summer. The weather is mild all the year around almost as if we were talking about one only season, and that is very different to what happens in other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Like the rest of Galicia, it is rainy and beautifully green. Still, the summers tend to be a bit dryer than the winters.

One of the main features of Cabañas is the beach

History

Very important and rich history. During the Middle Ages Pontedeume which included Cabanas was one of the most important boroughs of the Andrade Family which was particularly strong in Ferrolterra though for some centuries was the most powerful in Galicia. [link]

Nature and Tourism

The "Fragas" of the River Eume National Park with its typical Atlantic Forest, and unique ecosystem and biodiversity, offers the visitor one of the most beautiful Galician landscapes. (Declared National Park in 1997).

Industry

The major sectors are tourism (from 1950s and in particular from the early 1970s), farming, Agriculture and services, though tourism is predominantly seasonal concentrating itself predominantly in the summer months.
