      The Castro de Santomé, located near the Lonia River in Ourense, is an important archaeological site that includes remains of a pre-Roman fort and a later Roman settlement. The site offers spectacular views and is surrounded by an exceptional natural environment, where the natural pools or cauldrons formed by the erosion of the Lonia River stand out.

      These cauldrons, also known as giant's cauldrons, are circular formations in the rocks of the riverbed, originating from the movement of water over time. The area is ideal for hiking trails, combining historical heritage and natural beauty, making it a very attractive destination for lovers of archaeology and nature.
