At the beginning of the 12th century, the convent of San Lorenzo de Trasouto was founded in a shadowy oak grove on the banks of the Sarela River. Outside this building, which over time became a palace - 'pazo' in Galician - and is currently a distinguished restaurant for celebrations, there is still a leafy grove of centuries-old oaks.
The oak being the most typical tree in Galicia - linked in many cases to mythical and legendary tradition -, the 'carballeiras', the name by which the oak forest areas are known in Galicia, have always been spaces for meeting, pilgrimage, party and celebration; quasi-sacred, shady, magical spaces... Hidden among the trees there is a fountain and two 'cruceiros', large stone crosses that marked the paths and are a hallmark of Galicia.
