mailto:?subject=Content from Tourism of Galicia: PR-G 181 RUTA DE CIBRISQUEIROS A SAN COSMEDE&body=I recommend you read the information PR-G 181 RUTA DE CIBRISQUEIROS A SAN COSMEDE extracted from the Tourism of Galicia site on page https://www.turismo.gal/recurso/-/detalle/200513000051/pr-g-181-ruta-de-cibrisqueiros-a-san-cosmede?langId=en_US
This route runs along the old road that linked Cibrisqueiros with San Cosmede. From the road, near a communal laundry, the route goes between the village’s houses. Once you get to the height of the last buildings there is a turn to the right to the beautiful Romanesque church of San Vicente de Pombeiro (12th-13th century).
Continuing onwards, the path climbs up to some abandoned old buildings after crossing a stream. Soon, you will arrive at the tombs of O Preguntoiro, located a few metres from the path. These are two anthropomorphic tombs, a small pile and other remains, all carved out of granite stone.
The rocks take centre stage, forming a beautiful path. You can find a wall for climbing, as well as rocks of curious honeycomb shapes. The route then descends through Penaveada towards the small chapel of San Cosmede, where the Virgen de los Dolores is worshipped. Following a stretch between vineyards and old stone walls, you will reach the next village of San Cosmede.
The trees will part and allow you to see the Cañón del Sil occasionally. However, walking the route in autumn and spring will be a delight for the senses due to the wonderful hues of the vegetation.
You can access the route from Ourense on the N-120 towards Monforte de Lemos. Turn in Os Peares, after crossing the Sil river. Continue towards the church of San Vicente de Pombeiro in O Priorato. The start of the route is indicated on a sharp curve.
