Pena de Matacás Viewpoint

The last stretch of the river Sil, before joining the Miño, provides us with one of the most appreciated images of the Ribeira Sacra, the Sil Canyons. A beautiful natural landscape formed by abrupt elevations that corset the flowing course of the river along the last 25 kilometers. The water carried by this river is greater than that of the Miño, being famous the phrase: "The Sil carries the water and the Miño the fame". To get to the viewpoint we will do it from the road that goes from Monforte de Lemos to Castro Caldelas (LU903) on the banks of the river Sil, at the height of the pier of Doade we continue towards Abeleda direction Castro Caldelas. In the center of the village (Abeleda) we will find the indications to reach the viewpoint.
