サナブリア湖のおすすめライド

The Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle, located in the small village of Otero de Sanabria (municipality of Cobreros), is a unique church that combines centuries of history, diverse architectural styles, and an exceptional painted interior that has earned it the nickname "the Sistine Chapel of Sanabria." Romanesque origin (12th century), built on the site of an earlier Suebian or Visigothic temple. It retains the apse and the holy water/baptismal font from the original Romanesque period. Decisive renovations took place between the 17th and 18th centuries, when the Romanesque nave was demolished and the current three naves were built (1717). According to an inscription, the tower was built in 1749, the portico in 1763, the sacristy in 1769, and the Chapel of Souls in 1770.

a spectacular area for nature sports

The view of Lake Sanabria from the Neveira Viewpoint is one of the most spectacular in the natural park. This viewpoint is located near the Monastery of San Martín de Castañeda, on a route that combines history, nature, and breathtaking panoramas.

very nice place. Was recently voted one of the 10 most beautiful places in Spain. A bit touristy, but not overcrowded

Beautiful routes with spectacular viewpoints over the Lake on the Monks Route. During this time of year with the heat, it is better to do it at dawn until 1 pm maximum or after 7:00 pm.

Personally, I don't like this area a lot. I have seen hares, rabbits, deer, wolves and it's always quiet. I always go alone and explore paths

The climb to Laguna de los Peces can be done by car, motorcycle or bicycle. Motor vehicles have parking available a few hundred meters before. It is always open. In winter months you must ensure that the accesses are free of snow/ice. There are many cycling fans who ascend here after overcoming 17 km of moderate but continuous climbing. Mountain bikes can ascend to San Martín de Castañeda on roads, but the last kilometers must be on the road. The same happens for descent. It is advisable to bring warm clothing because it is almost always cold near the Lagoon. It is recommended that cyclists wear a vest to keep warm on the way down.

Built in the s. XV by the Pimentel family after taking control of the region, the fortress would witness the wars with Portugal in the s. XVIII and the War of Independence, when Portuguese soldiers would face the Serrar Division of the French army.
