LOCATION: Provincial limit of Pontevedra and Lugo, in the
municipalitiy of Carballedo, Chantada and Rodeiro.
SURFACE AREA: 2,988 hectares. The O Faro Mountains lie on
a strategic place, which offers panoramic views of the four Galician
provinces. Given its height, the Monte Faro (1,187 m) with an hermitage
and a recreational area, and its position in the centre of Galicia,
it has numerous rainfalls, in some years, considerable snowfalls.
The rounded summits have gentle slopes, which results in the formation
of large puddles. In the valleys, the landscapes offer nice views
of farming and cattle, where there is a place for carballeiras.
