Ribadelago

Highlight • Settlement

A small town in the municipality of Galende, Zamora near the border with Ourense, Galicia. Ribadelago, located near the Sanabria Lake Natural Park, has a tragic past. In 1959, the town was devastated by eight million cubic meters of water from the Vega de Tera reservoir.

View of Lake Sanabria

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point on the trail, you can enjoy spectacular views of Lake Sanabria. Located in the province of Zamora, at over 1,000 meters above sea level, it is the largest glacial lake on the Iberian Peninsula and the heart of the natural park that bears its name. Its clear, deep waters, surrounded by oak forests and peat bogs, unusual at this latitude, create a natural environment of great ecological richness.
To make the most of your getaway, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing, as the mountain weather can change rapidly.

Picturesque path to the Sotillo Lagoon from Sotillo de Sanabria along very well marked paths. I recommend going and discovering the beautiful Sotillo waterfall. The landscape is impressive wherever you look, surrounded by nature in its purest form.

Beautiful corner that the Sotillo Waterfall offers us with a 20-meter waterfall from the Arroyo de Pingón that comes down from the Laguna de Sotillo. The paths that take us here also have their charm. Without a doubt, an ideal place for hiking.
