The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, Beatriz Mato, presented some days ago the draft of this technical document, available for two months on the website of the department.

The catalogue identifies a total of 208 Areas of Special Landscape Interest (ASLP). Around 80 percent of ASLP have been identified by citizens and 30 percent identified exclusively by them . The total area of all ASLP covers more than 250,000 hectares, which amounts to 8.5 percent of the Galicia's territory.

In addition, the catalog also makes, among other relevant issues, an inventory of 444 viewpoints and identifies a total of 258 different types of landscapes.
