Description
The capital of cave painting in Galicia
extends along the banks of the river
Lérez, in the municipalities of Campo
Lameiro and Cotobade, close to the
city of Pontevedra. It possesses one
of the most amazing collections of
Bronze Age petroglyphs in Europe. It
is mainly outstanding for the deer
hunting scenes and abstract designs,
such as the circle combinations. An
Interpretation Centre is planned in
this area for the Archaeology
Museum on Monte Paradela,
between Paredes and Praderrei,
which will take in the neighbouring areas located near the river Lérez through itineraries and routes.
The space coincides with well-known fishing reserves on the Lérez and some tributaries, such as the
Almofrei. There are numerous riverside recreation areas and journeys through lovely landscapes of bridges
and mills.
