A must-see stop to sample some good Galician products in a homely atmosphere.

Excellent town to take a break

Small and quit road with a beautiful view on the Sil river.

The path of the Loña river. You can follow a section of the main road along the river if you have time and see the old water mills along the river.

Hydroelectric dam on the river Miño upstream before the mighty river meets the river Sil at os Peares. Crossing the dam gives you an incredible view of the power of the water.
