A fully restored former monastery, a visit is highly recommended. To visit, you must cross the Fragas do Eume Natural Park. There are minibuses that can take you there, but I recommend walking to fully enjoy the scenery. The monastery offers information services, tours, and even a small bar where you can grab a bite to eat and recharge your batteries. Don't forget to visit the old mill, located about 300 meters down a side slope, with a spectacular stone bridge.

The Pontedeume Bridge ("Eume River Bridge") is a must-see, wide and beautiful. If you cross it on your way out of the city, you'll be able to take some beautiful photos. On the other side, facing the sea, is Cabañas Beach, very wide and peaceful, with a large grove of trees.

A very well-preserved and restored former monastery, its location in the Fragas do Eume gives it a unique atmosphere, surrounded by forest and the river itself. The walk alone is a delight. Restored a few years ago, it is in perfect condition, admission is free, and there is an information service and a guide. There is also a small bar where you can recharge your batteries before returning (note that there is a minibus service that takes you to the monastery a couple of times an hour, although I highly recommend enjoying the walk parallel to the river—it's simply spectacular). Regarding the monastery, the different rooms are very well restored, with information, images, and photographs that take us back to its time as a monastery. A trip down to the old mill is also highly recommended; it's only 300 meters away and has a huge bridge next to it.

Old bridge that connects the two banks of the Eume River. The bridge flows directly into the center of the town of Pontedeume. We can see the arches of the railway bridge and small boats dotted in the port.
