    The Ribeiro and Carballiño regions will discover extensive vineyards and a magnificent heritage made up of Romanesque churches, pazos, or monastic farms.

    In the O Ribeiro area, the towns of O Carballiño, the octopus capital of Galicia, and Ribadavia, which belongs to the Network of Spanish Jewish Quarters: Caminos de Sefarad, stand out. In the area, many towns are of interest for their historical complex, among them we highlight Pazos de Arenteiro and Cea, both originating from the Middle Ages

    The monuments in the area are very numerous, an endless number of Romanesque pazos and churches, castreño towns such as the impressive San Cibrao de Lás fort, monuments such as the Cistercian monastery of Oseira, or that of Melon, the Monastery of Leiro or the modern church of the Vera Cruz.

    This is the region where O Ribeiro wine is produced, one of the oldest Denominations of Origin in Spain, there are more than 100 wineries and many are open to visitors.

    Regarding landscapes, the region is a wine area, its towns are authentic wineries and the environment is a landscape with the memory of its wine-making greatness, although it preserves areas of native forest such as the Ridimoas Forest.

    It is necessary to highlight the thermal springs that sprout in places like Prexigueiro, Partovia or Berán. The area has numerous facilities to enjoy its benefits, like spas, hot springs, sources or natural springs.
