Hiking

The Navea River is born from the union of several streams very close to the Montes do Invernadoiro, at more than 1,200 meters above sea level. In its first section before the reservoir it is better known as Río de Queixa. It runs between large mountain ranges such as A Serra de San Mamede and at 828 meters its waters form the Chandrexa de Queixa Reservoir. Construction of this dam began in 1945 during the Franco dictatorship, and was completed in December 1953.
