Although the current name of this town is much clearer than that of its neighbor Castrocalbón, it is interesting to know that the origin of Castrocontrigo is in the primitive city of Aria, which was the one that gave its name to the Aria/Eria river, which crosses the municipality. , and in turn to the entire Valle del Aria, which ended up being known as Valdería.

Great location to start any adventure. Access to parking or picnic area. Rest under the shade of the trees and swim on the shore of the Valparaíso Embalse de Valparaíso Beach.

Magnificent views of the Collado Alto de la Bandera located at 1384 meters above sea level, one of the demanding ascents in the area for the most daring of mountain biking with about 300 meters of positive slope.
