The mills of the Lonia River are old water mills located along the course of the Lonia River, in the province of Ourense. They were historically used to grind cereals using the power of the water. These mills, now in disuse or restored for tourist purposes, are part of the ethnographic heritage of the region. They are located at different points along the river, from its source to its confluence with the Miño River, and are part of hiking routes that allow you to enjoy the landscape and local history.
