Information
Portomarín, with its Romanesque church and medieval bridge, offers history and culture, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the Belesar reservoir, ideal for walking.
Shortly after starting this second stage you will reach Ferreiros, another small village with a Romanesque church dedicated to Santa María. Today’s route continues through rural landscapes full of small villages until we reach Portomarín, which appears as an oasis with its slate roofs and white painted houses. Portomarín, a village born at the foot of the river Miño, is a place as beautiful as it is peculiar. It is a village that had to be relocated from its original site to a higher point in the valley, due to the construction of the Belesar reservoir on the river Miño, which caused the flooding of the old site of the village. If you have a day with good lighting, you will be able to see the remains of the old Portomarín at the bottom of the river. In this small and busy village you will have the opportunity to enjoy the local gastronomy, relax and rest.
