The Walk

In the surroundings of the historic Sargadelos factory 
Lover’s Walk

This short route starts at the old industrial complex of Sargadelos. Created between 1791 and 1806 by Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez, it consisted of an iron foundry and an earthenware factory that ceased its activity in 1875. 

It was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1972 and preserves the remains of the old foundry, four furnaces and the Administration House, nowadays converted into the Sargadelos Historical Museum

At present, 1 km from this complex, the factory founded in 1970 is still in operation and remains today the greatest exponent of Galician ceramics. Our walk follows a flat path which, although very short, is extremely charming. We will walk parallel to the Xunco River to a small artificial waterfall that descends over the wall of the river dam, which was built in 1971 to supply water to the factories. 

Popular tradition has it that this path has virtues that make people fall in love and that those who walk it together will feel powerfully attracted to each other and will fall irremediably into this luminous emotional state when they finish this route.
