When you visit us, bear in mind the following:
- Decide in advance what activities are most likely to interest you.
- Show respect for local people and their property.
- Help care for the environment: leave the places you visit at least as clean and tidy as you found them. Use the litter and recycling bins.
- Do nothing that might harm the flora, fauna and environment. Do not collect live or dead animals or plants.
- Take care not to damage natural and archaeological heritage spots such as caves and prehistoric sites.
- Camp only in the areas set aside for that purpose.
- Leave your car behind: use public transport. Walking and cycling are good alternatives. Bikes can be carried free of charge on trains and many buses. If you do take your car, keep to a moderate speed and give way to pedestrians and cyclists. Always maintain a safe distance of 1.5 m when overtaking them.
- On the beaches, follow the advice of the lifeguards and obey the warning flags.
- When walking in the hills, keep to the marked routes and carry a bag for your litter. Do not leave cattle gates open. In areas with cattle, keep your dog on a lead.
- The best times for bird-watching are dawn and dusk. Carry binoculars, wear unobtrusive clothing and keep quiet: this will enable everyone to obtain maximum enjoyment.
- If you take to the river, do not frighten the birds. Remain within the speed limits and sail always along the centre of the waterways.
