Description

Os Peares is the place where the River Sil flows into the River Miño. The Mediterranean climate of its valley allows trees that are not  normally found in Galicia to grow, such as the strawberry madrone and holm oak. Grape vines can also be seen growing on stone
terraces, which is typical of the Ribeira Sacra.
