Holiday apartment in O Viso: Hiking along the Río Arnoia

Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in O Viso will find a combination of hiking, river landscapes and regional culture. The PR-G 143, the paths and sacred sites in the surrounding area, as well as the festival in honour of Saint Anthony, give your stay different accents. Before choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to experience the landscape, plan a hike or focus on the cultural aspects of O Viso and Ramirás.

Hiking along the Río Arnoia and in the Sierra del Seixival

The PR-G 143 Roteiro do Río Arnoia is Ramirás's official hiking trail. It reaches the meander of the Arnoia River known as Coto de Seoane. After a narrow path between walls, the trail leads to the higher areas of the Sierra del Seixival. This sequence is useful for planning a day because the river landscape, meander, narrow section of path and higher elevations each contribute different impressions of the landscape.

O Viso, Ramirás and orientation in the area

In the wider surroundings of O Viso, the PR-G 143 ends at the Santuario Nosa Señora do Val in Gomesende. Its starting point is a few metres from the Cruceiro de Escudeiros in Ramirás. On the opposite bank of the river, the remains of the Muíños da Chancela lie along the PR-G 143. This allows you to plan your hiking day around both the landscape and specific destinations and local points of reference.

Journey through the Ramirás valley

Access to the PR-G 143 is via the OU-531 between Celanova and Cortegada. At Vilavidal, the turn-off to Escudeiros leads off. Ramirás is considered a valley crossed by the Arnoia and Tuño rivers. For the journey to Casa Ramirás, it recommends entering Vilavidal as the GPS destination and then following the sign to the accommodation for approximately 500 metres.

Culture, festivals and sacred sites

The festival in honour of Saint Anthony takes place in O Viso. In the surrounding area, Nosa Señora do Val de Poulo is also known as Santuario de Trasportela. One route begins and ends at the Capilla de San Antonio de Padua in O Viso. If, when planning your trip, you would like to take regional sacred sites and customs into account alongside nature, you can include the festival, chapel and sanctuaries as different cultural themes.

A holiday apartment in O Viso for planning your trip

When choosing a holiday apartment in O Viso, you can adapt your desired travel rhythm to these themes: a hike through river and mountain landscapes, a festival day in O Viso or cultural discoveries at chapels, sanctuaries and mill remains. A holiday house can also be included as an accommodation option in this plan if you do not want to focus your stay solely on the hiking trail. The combination of trail, river landscape and culture allows for different daily itineraries without prescribing a fixed schedule.
