We are located in a natural region characterized by the beautiful valley of the Ulla river, known for its evergreen vegetation and populated by rich forests and rivers, pazos, mountains and caves. An ideal destination if we want to avoid mass tourism and enjoy a relaxing holiday, explore towns and get lost in nature in an area of inland Galicia rarely frequented by tourism.
Commitment to rural and sustainable tourism
Unique natural spaces
Pico Sacro
Boqueixón
The summit of the Pico Sacro rises majestically above the valley of Ulla, reaching 533 meters above sea level, allowing one of the greatest panoramic views of Galicia.
Its solitary profile, observable from a long distance, constitutes a strategic enclave next to which communication routes have been traced since Roman times and has been used as an element of territorial structuring.
The legendary Pico Sacro attracts the attention of anyone who looks at its silhouette. The fact that it is an isolated peak makes it a reference point for pilgrims.
Área Natural da Capela de San Paio
Boqueixón
One of the most complete and beautiful places in Boqueixón. Next to this chapel in the parish of Codeso we can see a waterfall, several restored mills, a miraculous fountain and, following a simple path less than a kilometre downstream, more mills and a second waterfall, all immersed in a lush and almost intact forest of banks of the Galician river.
Pazo de Santa Cruz de Rivadulla
Vedra
Declared a good of cultural interest. Private property that can be accessed to visit its Renaissance garden of reference in Galicia, where the camellia stands out. The garden is one of the most fascinating botanical spaces in Galicia due to its extraordinary diversity and ornamental richness, as well as its botanical and landscape value.
Miradoiro de Gundián
Vedra
It offers magnificent views over the river Ulla narrowing in the cave passage. This pass is currently guarded by the old railway bridge, the Gundián bridge, which is just a few metres from the modern A.V.E. Crossing the bridge, on the other side, is the Gundián rural recreation area, which also allows you to enjoy this magnificent natural environment.
Fervenza do Toxa
Vedra
This majestic waterfall, also known as “cadoiro”, captivates its visitors with its free fall of almost 30 meters. The Toxa River rushes with force, sculpting the rock in its path and creating a unique natural spectacle.
Surrounded by a dense lush forest, Fervenza do Toxa is adorned with a blanket of oaks, chestnut trees, cork oaks and an endless number of native species.
Área recreativa das Illas de Gres
Vila de Cruces
Located in the southwest area of the municipality, it is at the foot of the old bridge that crosses the Ulla River. The four small islands are linked by bridges and are of great scenic beauty. The area, under large oak trees, has tables, benches, stone grills for the use and enjoyment of visitors, as well as a beautiful river beach.
Routes
