"A marvel nestled among chestnut trees" — Santa Cristina monastery
Try the local Mencia and Godello wines
Visit when river's low to see submerged Belesar village
Terraced vineyards cling to sheer canyon walls where the Sil and Miño rivers carve through Galicia. Ancient Cistercian monasteries hide in chestnut forests, and abandoned villages emerge when waters recede.
