This recreational area, located 20 km from O Cádavo, capital of the municipality of Baleira, has a small circular path that borders the meanders of the Eo River and surrounds the so-called pena da Volta At the top, a sculpture of St. Francis of Assisi, the saintly friend of animals and nature, presides over and protects this privileged nature area. 

From this height, a little closer to the sky, we can see a wide landscape. From there we can also contemplate the remains of the numerous ouriceiras that used to be in the area, known locally as corrizas, and which are constructions that were used for storing and smoking chestnuts. We can also see a river mill that still conserves the remains of the machinery. 

As this is a recreational area, it also has a picnic area and, next to it, a staircase that takes us to the top of a mound on which a hórreo (raised granary) was recreated with a square floor plan on pillars and a hipped slate roof, a typology typical of the area.
