LOCATION: Very close to the Ancares mountains, in the south-west
of Lugo province, in the districts of Becerrea and As Nogais.
SURFACE AREA: 652 hectares. We recommend making a unique
journey on the ruta de las calizas (limestone route), whose name results
from the special composition of the soil, which brings about an exuberant,
rare vegetation, such as the holm oak grove of Cruzul. The route includes
an old corredoira (local road) between the hamlets of Cruzul and Morcelle,
and ends with the karstic landscape of Agueira. The beauty of the
mixed forest increases when light falls through the hard leaves of
the holm oak, a Mediterranean-climate tree which can be found here,
on Atlantic territory. |
