Castro of Santa Trega

Archaeological Site

Monte de Santa Trega

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small mountain that hosted one of the largest Celtic settlements in the northeast of the Peninsula. Mount Santa Tecla –Santa Trega, in Galician– and the fort of the same name. The Santa Tecla castro is the most emblematic and visited in Galicia and it is not surprising at all. A relatively well preserved citania –pre-Roman fortified city–, a small museum with unique pieces and sensational views.

Romanesque Bridge at A Ramallosa

Highlight • Bridge

This 13th-century bridge crosses the Miñor River and connects the municipalities of Nigrán and Bayona.

Pagan rites were performed on this bridge; when women had problems getting pregnant, they had to go to this point after twelve at night to convince the first man who passed by to give them a "prenatal baptism". In this way, the man poured water on the woman's womb and became the godfather of the future baby. Once the ritual and the party were over, they threw the food and drink left over from the celebration into the river to give thanks for the magical powers of the water.

Ría de Foz (Ría de la Ramallosa)

Highlight • River

One of my favorite places near Vigo is this corner located between the town halls of Nigràn, Gondomar and Baiona.
The estuary where the Miñor, Groba and Belesar rivers flow, called A Foz, is a spectacular natural area, included in the Natura 2000 Network of the European Union for its environmental and landscape quality and for being the nesting area for a large number of birds. .
