There are a few carballeiras in the middle of all the meadows and
farmlands in the region of Deza. In terms of size, the most outstanding
one is the Catasos fraga which can even be seen from the N-525 road
from Santiago de Compostela to Ourense. It is the size of its chestnuts
which makes it monumental. Up to thirty metres tall, among the tallest
ones in Europe, often with nearly five metres in diameter. In order
to reforest other areas, a clonation project for these trees is in
study given their special resistance.
The path in the middle of the fraga has a link to pazo of Quiroga,
a place which inspired doiia Emilia Pardo Bazan for her novel, "Los
Pazos de Ulloa". |
