Holiday apartment in Castelo: Nature, festivals and history

Castelo Between Nature, Festivals and History

Castelo combines riverbanks, dense woodland and rounded granite formations in the municipality of Outeiro de Rei with festivals and a historic house in the parish of Castelo. The Pazo de Reboleiras is considered a very old house dating from the 16th century, set on a 12-hectare estate. The pazo includes a chapel and a dungeon.

River Landscape, Woodland and Water

At Salto do Piago in the municipality of Outeiro de Rei, parts of the riverside woodland and dense riverbank vegetation have been preserved. Salto do Piago is a bathing and leisure area there, with small waterfalls and drops in the riverbed. Here, bathing and leisure by the water are combined with riverside woodland, riverbank vegetation, small waterfalls and drops. The waterfalls and drops create visible movement in the riverbed. For planning a day by the water, these landscape features and activities are relevant points of reference considered together.

Paths Between River and Woodland

The Sendeiro As Insuas do Miño is well maintained, properly signposted and equipped with interpretive information panels. The Ruta da Insua de Seivane is an approximately 2-kilometre circular route in the municipality of Outeiro de Rei, with a low level of difficulty. It runs along the river through dense native woodland with oaks, ash trees, willows and holly trees. The signposted route and information panels provide the Sendeiro with a clear framework for orientation. For planning a day out, the approximate length of around 2 kilometres and the low level of difficulty are the key details.

Penas de Rodas and the Plateau

The Penas de Rodas offer another landscape perspective. In the municipality of Outeiro de Rei, they consist of two rounded granite rock formations at an altitude of 619 metres and offer wide views across the plateau. Here, rounded rocks and open views create a different landscape impression from the dense woodland by the river. The open plateau and the dense woodland by the river form two different landscape settings within the same municipality.

Water at Campo de Santa Isabel

Fishing and swimming take place at Campo de Santa Isabel in the municipality of Outeiro de Rei. Both activities are an immediate part of spending time by the water there.
