Location: in the municipality of Pereiro de Aguiar (Ourense), on the Loña River, a tributary of the Miño. Uses: water supply, irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, fishing; it is not navigable or suitable for swimming. Circular walk: approximately 4 km (3.7 km to be exact), easy difficulty, ideal for families and dogs—although they must be kept on a leash—offering shade, rest areas, and beautiful views.

In the surroundings of Parada de Sil there are several paths marked by old “carriozas” or traditional paths that run through beautiful “castiñeiros” (chestnut) forests, with centuries-old specimens, buildings and ethnographic remains linked to chestnut cultivation. The “souto” of chestnut trees is a living symbol of the rural world of the Galician interior. The itinerary is a thematic walk in the chestnut culture, an open-air museum among centuries-old specimens that serves to protect resources and maintain the cultural and environmental value of the rural environment.

The Balconies of Madrid have a history that speaks of emigration, dreams and human adventures in unknown lands. The original name of Os Torgás was changed when the people of the Ourense villages of the Ribeira Sacra hung themselves from the cliffs of the River Sil to say goodbye to their loved ones who were leaving for Madrid and other lands in the south with the dream of a new life. The viewing points form small steps hanging over the river gorge and cause a special fascination. The breeze in the air carries the aromas of vineyards hanging on steep rocky terraces and melodies of elves emerging from enchanted forests, descendants of the primitive mythological beings who resisted the sacralisation of their plant kingdom by the monks and long before by the Roman legions. The walls of the Sil Canyon are a monumental sculpture five hundred metres high made of fierce, bare granite, a fortress of living rock up to the edge of the viewing points that filter the wind, the lights and the eternal songs of all the people who have passed through this fantastic natural balcony to say goodbye or find someone.

Circular route around the reservoir, highly recommended

The mills of the Lonia River are old water mills located along the course of the Lonia River, in the province of Ourense. They were historically used to grind cereals using the power of the water. These mills, now in disuse or restored for tourist purposes, are part of the ethnographic heritage of the region. They are located at different points along the river, from its source to its confluence with the Miño River, and are part of hiking routes that allow you to enjoy the landscape and local history.
