The Monastery of Santa María la Real de Oseira is located in the parish of Oseira (municipality of San Cristovo de Cea, Ourense), about 34 km from the city of Ourense and near the borders with Pontevedra and Lugo. Founded in 1137 by a group of hermits, it joined the Cistercian Order of Clairvaux in 1141. During the 12th and early 13th centuries, its main church was built, becoming one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in Spain. In 1552, a fire devastated the complex, but the church survived and retains an elegant, understated architectural style.

Great place to spend the night after the tough climb out of Ourense, with nice albergue and the terrific A Casa dos Caretas restaurant

It is a beautiful waterfall located on the Barbantiño River, in the province of Ourense, Galicia. With a waterfall of about 20 meters, it is one of the most impressive natural landscapes in the area. Surrounded by a lush and green environment, the waterfall is ideal for those who enjoy hiking and contact with nature.

The Fervenza do Barbantiño jump overcomes a difference in height of about 15 meters above the rocky ground and in the rainy season it becomes a true spectacle. However, its course is subject to the rules of a mini hydroelectric plant from the late 1990s that reduces its flow during certain times of the year. To get to this beautiful fervenza, just follow the Barbantiño Natural Trail downstream. From the OU-524 bridge over the river you can take the route, since this is the shortest way to get there, with a distance of only 1.7 km. In any case, it is advisable to start the route from the thermal springs in O Bañiño, in A Forxa, and travel the more than 7 km of beautiful and incomparable path, until you reach the San Fiz bridge.

If you choose the second option, you choose the pilgrimage route to the right. The Cea-Oseira route passes through Cotelas, San Mamede da Canda, Freás and Pielas. It is a very beautiful stage with large, sometimes difficult mountain stretches where you can enjoy completely untouched nature up to the large Romanesque monastery of Oseira.
