Miño River

Highlight • River

The Miño river, as it passes through Portomarín, is a prominent river in the region of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. Portomarín is a town located in the province of Lugo, and is located on the banks of the Miño river.

The Miño River is one of the most important rivers in the Iberian Peninsula and marks part of the natural border between Spain and Portugal. As it flows through Portomarín, the Miño River creates a beautiful and picturesque landscape, surrounded by rolling hills and lush vegetation.

Vilachá Wine Cellars

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Vilachá refers to an ancient village on flat land. This is the old flat village of San Mamede, which is mentioned in medieval documents. Vilachá is located on the slopes of the Augalevada mountain range. It is the only parish in the municipality bordering the Sil.

Vineyard cultivation was and is of great importance and from an ethnographic point of view it has a significant group related to this cultivation, which are its wineries. They are very old. They have masonry walls and are covered with a gabled roof made of slate slabs. There are forty-two wineries, but most are privately owned.

In the wineries there is still a fountain called the Frades (friars' fountain). It is no coincidence that San Mamede is celebrated in Vilachá as in the Montederramo mountain range. The riverbank was chosen by the monks for the cultivation of vines due to its microclimate. Apparently, on the way down to the Sil River there was a monastery that was formed when the hermits who lived along the river joined together until it was incorporated into Montederramo.

Portomarín Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, along with the Lugo and Ourense bridges, was the only way to cross the Miño without using a boat, which is why the pilgrims' route had to pass through here.
