Image of Santa Comba, not of the place itself.

The high ground of the concello is covered by Atlantic heath of gorse, rockrose and broom, which takes up more than forty per cent of the municipal district; this is the landscape that for centuries sustained free-range livestock and the gathering of scrub for bedding.
