The Walk

Along the Madalena River to the muíño do Rañego 
Walk of Dreams

This route, which is just over 3 km long, starts at the Madalena recreational area, which has a river beach, water park and picnic area. 

It is a low-difficulty route, as it is almost entirely flat and well paved. Along the route, on the banks of the Madalena River, we will cross several wooden bridges, such as the ponte dos Freires or the ponte dos Pasos, whose surfaces are covered with metal mesh to prevent us from slipping. On our way we will find benches where we can take a rest and we will pass by several mills such as the muíño do Rañego, the final point of this walk. 

The walk was given the name “Paseo dos soños” in 2006 by the Cultural Association Xermolos de Guitiriz and the Brotherhood Manuel María da Terra Chá. Every year, in collaboration with the Vilalba town council, a new sculpture in honour of a chairego or chairega (inhabitant of the lucence region of A Terra Chá) is placed on this promenade. They are figures, either in stone or metal, that commemorate the activity that these people carried out in the cultural sphere and are called <<literary hectometres>> because there are 100 m between each figure.
