General presentation
Valdeorras and Manzaneda
Interior Galicia of vineyards, mountains, slate, Sil valleys and access to the resort of Manzaneda.
The discovery of Valdeorras and Manzaneda revolves around O Barco de Valdeorras, A Rúa and Manzaneda. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, the countryside, riverscapes and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: dispersed services and winter mountain. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
O Barco de Valdeorras
O Barco de Valdeorras understands itself by dialogue between local center, nearby rivers and reliefs in the background. An inner road followed by small detours reveals the character of the place better than the only main facade. The mild light moments are often the most balanced.
Place
A Rúa
In Rúa retains the appearance of a passing village where the streets keep a slow pace, made of dardian details, low facades and shady crossings that tell local life without a postcard effect. It quickly reads how Manzaneda breathes between nature and inhabited center, especially by leaving some pauses to observe the uses of everyday life.
Place
Trevinca
In Trevinca, the relief of the hills and the texture of the villages are discovered by following the main roads and then by swaying towards the quieter areas. The place serves as a link between Valdeorras and the hinterland: slow steps reveal thresholds, small stone thresholds and views that change as soon as one leaves the main axis.
