How many types of points are there on the map?
On the map, there are three types of points:
- Beacons: These correspond to physical beacons (thirteen in total) distributed in various locations across the geography of Burela. These beacons have QR codes that link to explanatory videos of the area in which they are located. Within these beacons, there are four distinguished by their specific typology, which are beacons related to points of geological interest (for those interested in only taking the geological route, known as Burela, Nacida das Rochas (Burela, born from the rocks).
- Location Points: These correspond to the actual locations of points of interest referred to by the beacons or named after them. When the natural environment or terrain where the beacons are located does not allow them to be placed nearby, these location points are used. This is the case for points like “Igrexa de Coeda,” “O Xiringote,” “Diaclasas Ortogonais,” “Faro Pena Burela,” “La Lonja ABSA,” etc.
- Information Points: These correspond to places or resources mentioned in the videos by the people who participate in them or places of interest for tourists, such as the Tourist Information Office.
