This mountain range is completed by the mountains of Os Ancares, its sister to the north, the most spectacular natural frontier in the lands of Galaicas. It is a broken territory, of mountains fractured by geological cataclysms, of faults that formed pointed ridges and deep valleys, of vertical slopes and valleys furrowed by streams.
Among its highest peaks, Formigueiros, Montouto and Pía Paxaro, there are natural landscapes that are a true paradise for hiking fans

Devesa de Paderne, is an area of woods and chestnut groves, a place of shade and great beauty. The day hike takes place on paths that lead to abandoned places and others almost deserted. Some of these date back to before the Roman occupation. Others like Vi- lasibil have houses from the 13th century, still inhabited today. Here the chestnut tree is still a source of livelihood. And in many places we see ruins of how they used to treat it. The ruins of the Casio de Brio, and the impressive view over the val- ley are another attraction, before returning to the starting point.

One hike that takes us to the last patch of ainciant forest of Galicia. This natural area is the window to how was covered in the past al Galicia and north of Spain.
The landscape over the valley is amazing and highlights this place, full of calm. The villages perched on the green slopes give a more humane and deceptive tone. Today they are mostly ghosts villages and proof of the difficult past of this area. As it is still today. In late afternoon transfer to Santiago de Compostela (ES) or Porto (PT)

This is an mountain area of Galicia that have being cut from the outside world for long. The mountains are of rugged relief and hikes are for fit persons. The accommodations are simple small Inns and Guesthouses.
We are to expect beautiful sceneries, and hikes between villages that are simple and almost stopped into time. The forest are pristine and chestnut growth are amazing. In autumn this is a paradise to hike and for photographers.
This was a fantastic trip with lots of free time to explore the cities on your own. The local transport used was extremely good and the included activities, particularly the tapas and the Camino walk, were excellent.
A great trip, with a wonderful group of fellow travellers. Incredibly well lead by Helder. Enabled an opportunity to get to know a little about Spain and to appreciate the diverse nature and history of the country.
