A Pena do Encanto Route

Buscador

From the municipal capital we go to the exit of the town towards Galicia, finding ourselves on the right hand side with the San Isidro square in whose center is the chapel with the same name, coinciding with the starting point of the route.

We will follow the asphalt road to Vilela de Abajo stretch in which we will observe the municipal capital in the area known as El Llano, seated on a valley surrounded by gentle mountains, crossed from SW to NW by the course of the river Eo, riverbed around which the history and life of the municipality has developed. Already in Vilela we will turn left to enter a dirt track surrounded by forest that brings us closer to the stream of Ramalledo, responsible for watering numerous forests of native flora that settle along its course. Once we go up the stream we reach the area known as Pena do Encanto where a mysterious waterfall flows between water and stone, where the legend of an enchanted lady who comes out of the rock with a golden comb every night of San Juan to bewitch whoever sees her still beats. From this place we start the way back on our steps, arriving at a crossroads where we must turn right to start a slight ascent to Vilela de Arriba, a village through which we must pass before arriving back to the starting point.
