Monte Faro Nature Reserve. The installation of Eolicos along the crest of this massif, created many gravel paths to explore with spectacular views of the Galician interior.

Monte Faro, with a height of 1,187 metres, is located on the border between the provinces of Lugo and Ourense, Galicia. It is one of the highest points in the region and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Ribeira Sacra, the surrounding mountains and the valleys of the Miño and Sil. At its summit there is a hermitage dedicated to the Virgin of Monte Faro, a place of pilgrimage and local devotion.
