The Magical Woods of Castro Caldelas Route

The route "The Magical Forests of Castro Caldelas" consists of two loops that converge in the town of Castro Caldelas. You can go through the whole route, or choose only one of the two loops. In both cases the itinerary is circular, starting and finishing in Castro Caldelas. Short Loop - 5.3 km. In Castro Caldelas you can start the route towards the Church of Camba (s.X), a path that begins with great views over the castle and its surroundings. From there the trail descends to the fluvial area Ponte das Táboas, and then, always between forests, the river Edo and its mills will take you back to Castro Caldelas. Long Loop - 14.9 km. Then you can head towards the Souto de Poboeiros, where century-old oak and chestnut trees coexist, and reach the Monastery of San Paio de Abeleda (12th century) among vineyards. Then we will go back up the course of the river Edo to start a route between villages and forests with splendid views over the mountains surrounding Castro Caldelas.
