オ・サビニャーオのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Right next to the church, less than a stone's throw away, there is another small sacred monument: supported by a round stone column, which rests on a multi-tiered base at the bottom and ends with a decorated capital at the top, there is a stone crucifix, i.e. a cross with the corpus of Jesus Christ.

Belesar is notable for its ethnographic and natural heritage, including the Embarcadero de Belesar, which is used by catamarans and has cafe-restaurant services. In addition, the village has a rich history related to the Miño River and the reservoir created by the construction of the Peares reservoir. 😎🌄🚶‍♀️

The Belesar Bridge is a significant construction in the Ribeira Sacra region of Galicia. This bridge crosses the Miño River and connects the towns of Chantada and O Saviñao. Originally, there was a Roman bridge at this location, but the Fenosa company built the current bridge on the large and strong pillars of the original, which can still be seen in times of high drought. The village of Belesar, divided on both sides of the Miño River, is known for the beauty of its landscape, its vineyards and as a historical crossing point between the Chantada region and the Tierras de Lemos. In addition, it is a prominent place in the production of cherries and has a pier from where river routes depart along the Miño River. The bridge is also part of the Winter Way to Santiago de Compostela, an alternative route to the traditional French Way that was used by the Romans to avoid mountainous areas during the harshest months of winter. 🚶‍♀️🌄😎🌉

It is a recent construction, carried out due to the creation of the Peares reservoir. The church has a rectangular floor plan with a square presbytery to which a rectangular sacristy is added on the right side. The walls are made of masonry and granite ashlar, with gabled and three-pitched roofs1. Inside, it preserves what was the altarpiece of the old parish church, moved to this new building. The altarpiece is in Baroque style and bears the inscription: "SI HIZO Y PINTO SIENDO CURA BERNARDO DE ROCA AÑO DE 1747"⛪🚶‍♂️🌄🚶‍♀️

Perfect view of the Miño River. Some people dare to jump into the river from above 🤩👏

Beautiful and very well preserved🏘️👌

The walk is generally relatively easy - apart from the last 100m - where there are stairs and rocky steps to climb. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties!

El Castro Candaz are the remains of a pre-Roman fortress and later medieval fortress, located between the mouth of the Lama River and the River Envionde on the Miño River, in the parish of Pedrafita (Chantada, Lugo). It is currently flooded by the waters of the embalse de Belesar.
