Hiking
Excavated in the natural rock of the mountains near the town of Esgos in Ourense is the abandoned monastery of San Pedro de Rocas. This ancient cult building is considered one of the oldest in Galicia and the only one that still retains part of its original structure.

Climb through a pine forest to see the Monastery of the Rocks. The monastery is built on granite rocks and is one of the oldest religious buildings recorded in Galicia. From the top you can see spectacular views of the entire Galician landscape.
