Lira is a village (aldea) belonging to the O Condado shire, in Galicia, north west of Spain.

Lira has preserved some of its Atlantic forests (fragas) where wildlife is commonly found, especially in the lower areas close to the rivers.

Besides some hills are spread of the eucalyptus tree, an invasive species imported from Australia, actively promoted and researched by the paper industry since the mid-twentieth century.

As exotic species are blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), black locust or false acacia (Robinia pseudacacia) and recently the invasive heaven tree (Ailanthus altissima).

It is also frequent the American northern red oak (Quercus rubra) in new forest plantations.

Shrubs (holly, hawthorn, blackberry, ivy, dog rose, elder, laurel bay, Scotch broom, gum rockrose or gorse) and herbaceous are also important.

Every house has its own garden and orchard: apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums,... and recently kiwis or feijoas (pineapple guava).
