Description

The large castle of Monterrei, undoubtedly one of the finest in Galicia, stands on a hill which is perfect for the contemplation of the valley crossed from north to south by the Támega, which receives the waters of its tributary, the Bubal, from the right. From Verín, it crosses the warm grape and wine-growing valley, with its abundant springs. The protected area covers the whole river course in Galician territory, up to the Portuguese border.
The Támega with its good quality water begins in the Altos de A Alberguería (Laza) and soon forms a corridor of riverside forests and narrow mountain valleys, such as the Laza valley. The protected area also includes the water meadows and natural pools with their abundant floating vegetation.
