Beautiful swimming location.

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.

It is a magnificent example of rural Galician Romanesque architecture. The original building is from the 12th century, and preserves carvings from the 16th century and baroque altarpieces from the 18th century. The entrance to the cloister has a Romanesque doorway with lobed arches and a magnificent sculptural pantheon. The economic power of the monks of the Sil reached a notable splendour in the 12th century, when they received royal privileges and papal protection to expand the monasteries and sanctuaries on both banks of the Sil, a territory with a strong historical and cultural personality, called Rivoyra Sacrata at that time and known since then as Ribeira Sacra.

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.

These are two wooden walkways that go several meters into the canyon, providing us with spectacular views.

Lots of beautiful nature
