        Large deciduous tree that is common in the mountains of Galicia. The fruits are covered with a green rind with thorns, the "erize". The season for harvesting chestnuts is November, and in Triacastela and throughout Galicia in general it is celebrated with a festival called "magesto". The main use of the chestnut tree is to obtain its wood and use its fruit as food for the population in general and as food for livestock.
