A Capela Town Council: tourist routes

The location on this track of Sesín river of two small manufacturing constructions, as water mill are, with their curious and witty hydraulics works for water collection and dewatering, with their characteristic songs, their smells, etc, make of this whole an area of special value within our town council.

The walk begins at two kilometres of As Neves, following the hydro plant road that in this track cross the river. At both sides of this bridge, we will visit two mills, “muiño de arriba” and “muiño do medio”, and then we will continue our walk up the river, as far as we reach the roman bridge. This bridge allowed to cross the river to follow the antique real way from Gunxel to Paces. Once we have reached here, we cross the river and we go up towards the village of Paces and we go down for the new road again until we find the hydro plant road again and, in this way, we finish our route where we have started.

We can already complete our journey going down to the old Plant of Ventureira with lots of landscape beauty; another time we should go to the “Canon do Eume” balcony too where we can look at the spectacular incasement for which the river flows, after leaving back the dam to which it gives his name. We can reach this balcony following a mark path too that starts in Vilariño and which roam for Fontardión hill.

We will always remain the Sesín, without big difficulties and of great beauty, which roam by the side of the national nature reserve and that, without any doubt, invites visitors to dive into next journey, until the heart of “Fragas do Eume” following, on foot, the unforgettable route of Caaveiro, by the antique medieval path.
