Salvora Island: Vionta - Noro - Sagres

Vionta is the biggest of the medium-size islands, 200 m. wide, 600 m. long. The mount top, 12 m. high, is known as Galo de Vionta (Vionta´s Cock). The small island of Noro, very near, is pyramidal-shaped. Its threatening look, with weird and imposing figures, made come up with a legend; the Santa Compaña (Holy Society, a spirits parade) gained access to our world through this small island. Another medium island, less popular, is Herbosa, that stands up straight 16 m. at its highest peak.

Sagres Island, nearer from the coast, opposite Falcoeiro Point, is extremely rocky. History tells the giant man from Sagres and the giant man from Falcoeiro longed the same woman´s love. Both fought and several parts of the defeated body went to the sea, close to the place of the combat. So they gave name to many rocks and places. Thus, back teeth flew to fall at O Carreiro (the way), fangs nailed themselves beyond Prexeiros and Quixadas (jawbones) near Couso. The giant man from Sagres laid on the island that belonged to him by his own right and rested forever.
