GALICIA Information - Natural Parks: FRAGA DA CATASOS

LOCATION: Municipality of Lalín, to the northeast of the province of Pontevedra.

SURFACE AREA: 4.5 hectares.

ACCESS: One one side of the N-525 road from Santiago de Compostela to Ourense, four kilometres from Lalín in the hamlet of Cabreira.

SERVICES: Accommodation and food in Lalín and along the N-525.

M.A.N.: Information boards and path.

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".
