Holiday apartment in Oca – between Petroglifo and the Tambre

Oca offers a combination of nature and culture that extends across the village and its surroundings. The Petroglifo de Oca is located on the granite rock of O Pedrouzo and offers excellent views of the surrounding area and the village of Oca. This provides you with a varied setting for days spent among granite, riverbanks and historic traces. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Oca, you can arrange the other destinations according to your preferred balance of nature, walking and culture.

Short walks along the Tambre

The I Ruta do Apego includes a section of the Ruta das Ribeiras do Tambre in Lens and Oca. Its second section leads to the banks of the Tambre, covers 0.6 kilometres there and 0.6 kilometres back, and ends in a riparian woodland with beautiful examples of native trees. The route therefore combines riverbanks and woodland in a manageable section. This second section is not accessible for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Petroglifo and wayside cross

The Petroglifo de Oca is not signposted. Access is via a forest track, whose vegetation can sometimes make access difficult. There is also a stone wayside cross near the Capela da Virxe do Corpiño. Those who would like to include historic traces and smaller destinations along the way in addition to the riverside paths will find various options here for planning their day.

The Ruta do Tambre between Tapia and Lens

The Ruta do Tambre begins at Tapia's river beach and runs for approximately six kilometres along the left bank of the river towards Ponte Maceira. It passes close to Oca and reaches the vicinity of Lens. After leaving the banks of the Tambre at Lens, the route heads back towards Oca and descends through the village to the Igrexa da Virxe do Corpiño. The two routes described therefore differ considerably in both length and course.

Palaces and mountains in the surrounding area

Palace architecture is also part of Oca's cultural setting. Pazo do Cotón, Pazo da Peregrina, Pazo de Raxoi and Pazo de Xelmírez are palaces in the area around Oca. They broaden the view beyond the riverside paths to include historic architecture in the immediate surroundings.

The geographical classification varies in scope for the different landforms: Monte Silvariño is a mountain in the area around Oca. Monte da Pena, Monte das Cruces and Monte do Castelo are mountains in the wider regional surroundings of Oca. This allows you to consider nearby and more broadly defined regional landscape destinations separately when planning.

Choosing a holiday apartment in Oca according to your daily plans

When choosing a holiday apartment in Oca, you can compare the different ideas for your days: a short nature walk, a longer river route, historic traces, palaces or mountains with different geographical settings. Which accommodation suits your trip depends on your preferred daily rhythm. Consider which experiences you would like to combine and which routes are suitable for your travel group before deciding on a holiday apartment in Oca.
