As Trevincas, which is the name often given to these mountains and hills, seem resistant in their mountainous strength and the harshness of the climate, but at the same time they contain a fragile life balance. Pena Trevinca Sur (2,127 m) is the highest point not only in these mountains, but in Galicia as a whole. In the winter, the snowy summits feed, among others, the river San Xil in the north; Xares in the centre; and Bibei in the south. There is also a lagoon at the summit. Human life has adapted itself to this environment, far from all communication channels. Remote hamlets from which embedded valleys may be contemplated, which are in themselves perfect examples of popular architecture. For instance, two places in the municipality of A Veiga. In A Ponte, the "rua dos muíños" (mill road). In Corzos, houses built on enormous stone ovals.

FLORA: We must highlight the Teixadal of Casaio (Carballeda de Valdeorras): a unique yew grove (Taxus baccata), considered to be the best preserved in Spain. In addition, we should mention the forests of Pyrenean Oak (Quercus pyrenaica) in Serra Calva and Serra do Eixe, in the municipality of
A Veiga.

FAUNA: Presence of numerous birds: Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and Short-Toed Eagles (Circaetus gallicus). Endemisms such as the Iberian Frog or the Northern Water Rat (Arvivola terrestris).
