The Walk

By the mouth of the Landro River 
At the gates of the ría de Viveiro

This route on the banks of the Landro River and the ría de Viveiro starts very close to the Valdeflores convent. It has a Gothic church from the 15th century, when the convent was founded, although the monastery building dates from the end of the 17th century. Once governed by Dominican nuns, it has been declared a National Monument, so it is advisable to take a short detour to see it, even if only from the outside, as it is currently closed. 

From here we walk almost all the time on a wooden footbridge that will take us through the Panela, a bird reserve area, or through the pozo de Piago from which, according to legend, we can see the twenty-metre tail of the dragon that guards the bell of the church of Santa Maria do Campo, carried there by the strong winds of a stormy night and which has remained in its depths ever since. 

We will then pass a jetty to finish at the Portochao recreational area, crossing an area declared a Site of Special Protection of Natural Values and a Site of Community Importance (SCI).
