Context and question: Topographically, a remarkable feature of Galicia is the presence of many firth-like inlets along the coast, estuaries that were drowned with rising sea levels after the ice age.

The Rias Altas include Ribadeo, Foz, Viveiro, Barqueiro, Ortigueira, Cedeira, Ferrol, Betanzos, A Coruna, Corme e Laxe and Camarinas. The Rias Baixas, found south of Fisterra, include Corcubion, Muros e Noia, Arousa, Pontevedra and Vigo. The Rias Altas can sometimes refer only to those east of Estaca de Bares, with the others being called Rias Medias ("Intermediate Rias").
