Road that leads to the Aceredo ghost town that was covered when the Lindoso reservoir, during the dry season the town is exposed and you can cross the Lima River. If the water level is high, cross to the other side of the OU-1207 bridge on the road

Aceredo is a village located in the municipality of Lobios, in the province of Ourense, Galicia, which was flooded in 1992 due to the construction of the Lindoso reservoir, on the Limia River, a project shared between Spain and Portugal. This village was submerged under the waters of the reservoir, which caused its inhabitants to abandon their homes.

The curious thing about Aceredo is that, in years of drought, the water level of the reservoir drops enough to reveal the ruins of the village. It is possible to walk through its old streets and observe the houses, the old mill, and other remains of what was once an active rural community. Images of the emerged village have attracted both tourists and curious people, creating an almost surreal atmosphere, as the remains remain frozen in time.
