パルガ-ラドラ-タモガのおすすめツーリングルート

The original castle dates back to the 11th century, although the current tower was rebuilt in the 15th century after the Irmandiño revolts, which destroyed much of the fortress. It was owned by the lords of Lemos and later passed into the hands of Fernán Pérez de Andrade, who left his heraldic mark on the tower with the figure of the wild boar, a symbol of his lineage. In the 19th century, during the First Carlist War, the tower was reused as a defensive bastion and later restored.

The Andrade Tower in Vilalba (Lugo) is an impressive medieval building that constitutes the only vestige of the old Vilalba Castle, and one of the most important historical symbols of the Terra Chá region.

The Chapel of San Alberte in Guitiriz (Lugo) is a jewel of Galician heritage, located in a beautiful natural setting, next to the Parga River and in the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve. It dates back to the 14th century, although it is believed that there was an earlier temple on the same site.

The Santo Alberte Bridge, also known as Ponte de San Alberte, is a medieval gem located in the municipality of Guitiriz (Lugo), over the Parga River, in the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve. Although believed to have Roman origins, the current structure is Gothic in style, built in the 14th century and renovated in the 18th century and again in 2006.

A mighty and historic tower with a beautiful coat of arms 🤙

Beautiful baroque church, a stop to pause 🤙

After the renovation, the Albergue in the monastery is actually once again a must on the Camino del Norte. But if you want to take the alternative route to O Pedrouzo to save yourself a day on the overcrowded Camino Frances, I recommend the Eco-Albergue Abeiro da Loba in Madelos.
