GALICIA Information - Natural Parks: SOUTO DA RETORTA |
 |
| LOCATION: Municipality
of Viveiro, in the western region of A Mariña, in the province
of Lugo. SURFACE AREA: 3.2 hectares. ACCESS: From Viveiro through the C-640 in the direction of Mondoñedo, up to Chavín. SERVICES: Accommodation and food around the area and in Viveiro. It takes a simple look at the mountains of the whole northern coast to realize that eucalyptuses are part of the natural history of Galicia. This history began in the Souto da Retorta, close to Viveiro, in the eucalyptus grove of Chavín. Today, these are century-old trees, which are often more than eighty metres tall and are 2.5 metres in diameter. The oldest one is called 0 Avo (The Grandfather). These trees were planted 300 years ago, to help drain the low lands flooded by the tributaries of the river Landro. Seven kilometres from Viveiro, a route starts on the road to Naseiro and Chavín. Besides the eucalyptus grove, this route goes along a stretch of the river and ends at the Salto do Can. For bigger waterfalls, there is the Pow da Ferida upstream, whose waters fall down thirty metres vertically. It is also possible to get there by taking a turn-off before Chavín. |
