Camp site with an astonishing view on the Ribeira Sacra

The As Fontiñas viewing point is an excellent window into the best-preserved natural ecosystems in the Sil Canyon, a mysterious and balanced mix of water, stone, forest and space. The course of the Gavias stream reaches the edge of the cliffs from the fields of Requián and before entering the Sil River it plunges down a crazy and dizzying succession of rocky steps. In one of them it creates the Pozo da Ovella waterfall, a giant's cauldron that demonstrates the energy of the water when it falls furiously down the walls of the great Sil gorge.

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.

Miradoiro dos Penediños is a beautiful viewing point located in the Ribeira Sacra, a region known for its stunning landscapes and terraced vineyards along the Miño and Sil rivers in Galicia. From this viewing point, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Miño River canyons and the lush forests surrounding the area. The viewing point is an ideal place for nature and photography lovers, as it offers a unique perspective of the natural beauty of the Ribeira Sacra. In addition, it is a popular stopping point for visitors touring the region's viewing point route.

The Mirador de O Boqueiriño, in the Ribeira Sacra, is located on the slope of the Sil River canyon. It offers spectacular views of the terraced vineyards and the Sil canyon. Built from wood and Corten steel, it is designed to blend into the natural landscape. It is an ideal place to contemplate the unique landscapes of the region, known for their beauty and serenity.

Mirador da Pedra Longa, a majestic rock formation in the shape of a vertical monolith whose height exceeds 7 meters and is made up of just one piece of stone. Rain and wind have been responsible for sculpting this wonderful work of art for millions of years. It is accompanied by the special background that the valley and the Sil canyon give it. From here you will see a good stretch of the Sil River, from Pombeiro (Pantón) to the mouth of the Cabe River, in A Barca. Also in the distance you will appreciate the high and vertical slopes of the canyon in Sober, in the parishes of Belmonte or Santiorxo.

Along the Sil River Canyon as it passes through the Ribeira Sacra there is a wide network of viewpoints on both banks. Beautiful views.

Spectacular. It is part of the route of the viewpoints that you can do on Mtb or walking
