    Hiking

    The Torgás recreational area is in an area where a bush called heather abounds, it is also close to leafy groves of century-old chestnut trees.
    Mountainous hiking area, with viewpoints that offer panoramic views of a river valley.

    Hiking

    The Os Torgás viewpoint, also known as Balcones de Madrid, owes its name to the barquilleros who emigrated to Madrid and other places in Spain and this point was chosen by women to see their husbands leave.
    Its views of the Cañon de Sil mountains make this viewpoint one of the most spectacular in Galicia.
