‘'LET YOURSELF BE GUIDED': GUIDED TOURS SUMMER 2026
From July 6 to September 20, 2026, we offer a program of 4 guided tours in different places in the municipality of A Pobra do Brollón. See all the information in this link.
There are places where we like to get lost, to get lost of our own free will. To get lost only to find ourselves on paths, in groves, by a river. That happens in the municipality of A Pobra do Brollón.
The municipality of A Pobra do Brollón is located in the south of the province of Lugo, belongs to the region of Lemos and is part of the Ribeira Sacra territory, it also borders the municipality of Courel. These geographical circumstances mean that within the same municipal area we have very varied landscapes and a multitude of options for enjoying nature.
A Pobra do Brollón is tradition and nature. Tradition through a past linked to the groves, the mountains, mining and agriculture, and nature because it hides a multitude of secrets in caves, forests, rivers and banks. Places uncontaminated by man that allow us to be in absolute harmony with nature.
The Cabe, Saa, Lor and Sil rivers fill this territory with life, creating deep valleys full of life. While in the mountain area, the reality is different, in villages like Parada dos Montes time seems to stand still, or even as if we were returning to the past. Parada is, without a doubt, an inexcusable ethnographic visit as a mountain village and, very close by, in Salcedo, ethnography is directly linked to the tradition of carnival. On Carnival Monday, the bear takes to the streets of the village to scare young and old. For days, the locals celebrate the festival with theatrical performances and various activities that bring together more visitors every year.
A Pobra is home to numerous castros, groves and drylands, in addition to a mining past that creates unusual landscapes, although most are underground.
Churches (Veiga and Ferreiros, Romanesque), chapels, mills, manor houses, large houses and bridges like the one in Barxa de Lor complete the colors of an essential picture for anyone who wants to get closer to the authenticity of a unique municipality.
To enjoy all the richness of A Pobra do Brollón we can go to the viewpoints
- Four Knights located in Pena Redonda, at more than 1,200 m. altitude. At this point the municipalities of A Pobra, O Incio, Samos and O Courel join. It is said that the name is given because in the past the knights of these four territories met at this point to discuss the administration of the territory.
- The Steps: located near the village of As Laceiras, from it you can see the entire Paramedela grove, as well as the Lor River and the Serra do Courel.
- The Chapel: offers excellent views of the banks of the Sil and the terraced vineyards.
- San Vitoiro located on top of the cliffs, in the parish of Saá. From it we have wide views, it is right at the top of this recreation area where a traditional pilgrimage is held on August 27th.
