Vilachá Wine Cellars

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Vilachá refers to an ancient village on flat land. This is the old flat village of San Mamede, which is mentioned in medieval documents. Vilachá is located on the slopes of the Augalevada mountain range. It is the only parish in the municipality bordering the Sil.

Vineyard cultivation was and is of great importance and from an ethnographic point of view it has a significant group related to this cultivation, which are its wineries. They are very old. They have masonry walls and are covered with a gabled roof made of slate slabs. There are forty-two wineries, but most are privately owned.

In the wineries there is still a fountain called the Frades (friars' fountain). It is no coincidence that San Mamede is celebrated in Vilachá as in the Montederramo mountain range. The riverbank was chosen by the monks for the cultivation of vines due to its microclimate. Apparently, on the way down to the Sil River there was a monastery that was formed when the hermits who lived along the river joined together until it was incorporated into Montederramo.

Portomarín

Highlight • Religious Site

Portomarín is a pretty town next to the Miño river.
The transit of pilgrims throughout the year marks the rhythm of life in this town. At your pace, you can not miss the photo with the letters that form your name or on the bridge that crosses the river.
As buildings, the churches of San Pedro, San Juan and San Nicolás stand out. The latter is located in the town hall square, where you will also see the monument to the pilgrim.
