Names to remember are the <strong>Landro<\/strong>, which becomes the Viveiro estuary; Covo, which finishes in Cervo; the <strong>Ouro<\/strong> and the <strong>Masma<\/strong>, which merge into the Foz estuary; and the <strong>Eo<\/strong> that, also in the form of the estuary, creates the border for Ribadeo and Castropol (Asturias).[\/vc_column_text][\/mk_custom_box][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title size=&#8221;18&#8243; font_family=&#8221;none&#8221;]<b>Stops<\/b>[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_accordions style=&#8221;simple-style&#8221; container_bg_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; responsive=&#8221;false&#8221;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Mills Route (Xove)&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511947170540{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]This 7 kilometre itinerary along the banks of the river Rigueira offers excursions through a wonderful river landscape to visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xove.es\/conoce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eight traditional water mills<\/a>. You will also see other typical buildings of popular Galician architecture such as the \u2018cabozos\u2019 (raised granaries) where the corn was kept. The \u2018cabozo da Aira\u2019, in Barxa-Lago, is a unique piece built in stone.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Route of the Balea Mills (Viveiro)&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511947214812{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]This walk of less than 5 kilometres along the banks of the river Landro, one of Viveiro\u2019s icons, will seduce you due its beautiful scenery, waterfalls and the 7 flour mills that you pass. If you are interested in heritage, go to prehistoric \u2018m\u00e1moa\u2019 (pre-historic tomb) of Penas Brancas de Galdo, 4 km from the village. Up here, at 500 metres above sea level you can see the extensive valley of the Landro, where you have just been.<\/p>\n<p>This megalithic complex is made up by four \u2018m\u00e1moas\u2019, all \u2018raped\u2019, that is to say, which only retain their stone shell. In the vicinity there is a possible well used for the preparation of another \u2018m\u00e1moa\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>And to open one\u2019s appetite, we suggest you visit a bakery with participatory workshop where you can learn how to make the bread and \u2018empanadas\u2019 (typical Galician pie). There they will explain what types of firewood use in baking; you will visit the wheat fields and see the old machinery that was used to prepare these two faithful companions of the Terras de Miranda gastronomy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Threshing Festival of Rego da Ponte (Bravos, Ourol)&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511947259668{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]This is an almost obligatory stop if you do this route in August. You will see in person how the wheat is separated from the chaff, as it was in the past. Take the opportunity to visit the remains of the old manor house Ferrer\u00eda de Bravos and enjoy the landscapes of the O Xistral mountain range.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Ethnographic Museum of Auga (Alfoz)&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513012518888{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]In the place known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.turismo.gal\/recurso\/-\/detalle\/31604\/finca-galea.-museo-da-auga?langId=es_ES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finca Galea<\/a> they also organise a threshing festival in August. This is an ethnographic museum about the culture of water, the traditional uses and habits in Galician country houses. The complex, of about 60,000 m2, is made up of an old mill, a fulling mill, a dam and the cascade of the mill, all on a beautiful site (this can be visited).<\/p>\n<p>Nearby is Castrodouro Castle, which houses the <a href=\"http:\/\/albertogeada.es\/\">Museo das Zocas<\/a> (Clogs Museum). This was the traditional footwear of our ancestors who used it, above all, to work in the fields. Make a note of it! A Medieval Market takes place here on the third weekend of July.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Mondo\u00f1edo&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511947507947{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]The Galician writer \u00c1lvaro Cunqueiro used to say that &#8220;Mondo\u00f1edo is rich in bread, water and Latin&#8221;. Having reached Lugo episcopal city, you will be greeted by the aroma of its famous bread and the \u2018empanadas\u2019 (typical Galician pie) cooked on green cabbage leaves. Here you can also take part in workshops in a traditional bakery.<\/p>\n<p>There are several festivals that you must make a note of. In the second weekend of August, the Medieval Market (declared of Galician Festival of Tourist Interest), which commemorates this important historical period for its people. The <strong>Festival of the Exaltation of the \u2018Empanada\u2019<\/strong> is held around the 1st May, during As Quendas century-old horse fair (may).<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to go to the Os Mu\u00ed\u00f1os neighbourhood, about 10 minutes from the cathedral. In the past the artificial water channels were used to supply the mills that give name to the place and that, today, inspire the nickname of the &#8220;Venice&#8221; of Mondo\u00f1edo. In addition to the spell of this fairytale landscape, have a look at the Roman bridge of O Pasatempo, a stone testimonial of another historic milestone. There, Mariscal Pardo de Cela\u2019s wife was distracted by the canon so that she could not present the Catholic Kings\u2019 pardon in time and save her husband\u2019s life, who was executed in the Cathedral\u2019s square.<\/p>\n<p>In the Os Mu\u00ed\u00f1os neighbourhood a project was launched a few years ago to promote craft workshops for traditional trades (puppets, pottery, stonework, printing) which can be visited. In July they celebrate the FeiraMostra.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Trabada&#8221;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511947559003{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]This <strong>Milling Route<\/strong> ends in Trabada. Entrance to the Northern Way, one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago, here you can try the &#8220;enfari\u00f1adas&#8221;, a typical dish made with wheat flour, milk, eggs and salt and whose dough is curdled in oil in which pork scratching have been fried previously.<\/p>\n<p>If you come in August, don&#8217;t miss out on the Threshing Festival of Vilapena. The cereal is collected in the old-fashioned way during days that mix joy, work and tradition. Take the opportunity to travel the route of Vilapena Forest, where you will find a great diversity of trees.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordions][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_ornamental_title font_family=&#8221;none&#8221; font_size=&#8221;30&#8243; ornament_style=&#8221;lemo-single&#8221; nss_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]Finish off your experience in Terras de Miranda![\/mk_ornamental_title][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;454&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Where to eat&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#ed8b00&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fterrasdemiranda.org%2Fen%2Flugo-tourism%2Fmilling-route%2Fwhere-to-eat%2F|||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;btn-custom-1&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;455&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Where to stay&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#f2a900&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fterrasdemiranda.org%2Fen%2Flugo-tourism%2Fmilling-route%2Fwhere-to-stay%2F|||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;btn-custom-2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;456&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;What to do&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#d45d00&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fterrasdemiranda.org%2Fen%2Flugo-tourism%2Fmilling-route%2Fwhat-to-do%2F|||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;btn-custom-3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][mk_revslider id=&#8221;rutaDaMoenda&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1511946978164{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Travel inland from the coast to visit old flour mills and see how the craftsmanship of bread, \u2018empanadas\u2019 (Galician pies) or the \u2018enfari\u00f1ada\u2019 continue to delight the palate today.
