It covers a wide territory corresponding to the highest areas of the Concejos de Entrimo, Lobios and Muíños, bordering Portugal and the Portuguese National Park of Peneda- Gerês. Together it is a succession of short and steep stretches and valleys in which the population of Requiás stands out. The vegetation of the Park includes both species of the Atlantic and Mediterranean terrain. There are plenty of honeydew oak trees, which is accompanied below 1000 meters by birch trees and at higher altitudes by wild pine and yew. There are also chestnut trees, holly trees, cork oaks, madroños and, in the shrubby stratum, heather and piornos. In addition, there are enclaves with restocking, mainly Pinus-Pinaster. The riverside forests around the waterways are mostly made up of ash, boils, popsicles, willow and hazelnuts. Existing wildlife includes open-air birds of prey, such as the communal ceremonies and the mouse or ash eagle. They also fly over the area, golden eagles, and vines. Among mammals mention the presence of a reduced wolf colony, along with other species such as rabbit, roe deer, fox, otter or wild boar. The environment is made up of small villages, where ancestral customs are still preserved. The Roman legions passed through here in the conquest of the tribe of the Cherlaicians, that is, of the Galicians. Then there was no border and it would still take time to have it. Same river with two variations. Limia for Galician people who see it being born in the fountains of Antela and Lima for Portuguese people who see it die in Viana do Castelo. The whole area is dominated by river courses. Numerous tributaries accompany the Limia, which houses three large reservoirs: Salas (Requiás) As Conchas and Lindoso. The latter with dam in Portuguese territory and Galician water. However, this is a dry ray because it's not the rivers but the mountains that, as we're getting closer, delimit the horizon with their saw profile. They are unmistakable with their characteristic peaks like castles. By altitude, they conserve the lowest glacial circuses of the Iberian Peninsula. From north to south, the Serra do Laboreiro and the Queguas Mountains; the mountains of O Quinxo; the Alto de Santa Eufemia, already neighboring the Serra do Xurés that stands on the highest point of all these mountain ranges in the peak of A Nevosa (1,539m); more to the west is the Serra do Pisco in (Requisa) and even further afield the Serra da Pena and the lands of the Mixed Couto that in times did not belong to either Spain or Portugal. The rugged rocky rocks attended the hunting of the last bear of these lakes and now witness the return of the Xurés goat through a plan of reintroduction in the wild of the mountain goat. To preserve all diversity, one of the first Community Experiences in Cross-Border Collaboration has been launched. In this range, the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês (Portugal) along with the Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés Natural Park form a single natural gem of this old and new Gallaecia. The lush part retains lush areas with large door trees that were once used to sail as naughty, notebooks, and renowned masters on the seven seas. FLORA: Wide scrubland with some endemesis like the Iris boissieri. Robledales and Mediterranean elements of cork oak trees (Quercus suber) and madroño (Arbutus unedo). In the highest areas, it is accompanied by wild pine (Pinus sylvestris) and shuffleboard (Taxus baccata). WILDLIFE: Sheep of wolf (Canis lupus) and the large dams: Corzo (Capreolus capreolus) and Montesa Goat in a re-troduction program. At the elevated plains and semi-seed, the horse called Pony Galician or Garrano (Equus cavallus). Esporádicamente, Águila real (Aquila chrysaetos routes The Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés Natural Park is one of the protected spaces with the greatest historical, ethnographic and environmental personality in the autonomous community. There are hiking trails that in some cases mimic the stretches of Via XVIII or Via Nova that linked the Augustinian cities of Braga and Astorga. Road landmarks can still be touched in the Los Miliarios area, nine kilometers from Lobios on the climb that leads to Portela do Home. From the north this is one of the entrances to the Portuguese Peneda-Gerês National Park. To get there, it descends from the Caldo River. The thermal benefits referenced by its name can still be enjoyed today. A little further up you get to the bravo creek of A Date, which opens into the form of a waterfall. Rain-filled is the highest and most impressive in Galicia. It is an area of roads and stops. It is attested by the Aquis Querquennis site, a Roman camp in Bande, on the shore of the As Conchas reservoir. The location is being conditioned as a museum. In the same municipality you can visit the first church of Galicia with a visigoda plant or it will be better to say Sueva, in Santa Comba. Around the Salas Reservoir, in the municipality of Muíños, there are also hiking itineraries that are completed by an archaeological route. A local road from the municipal capital of Mugueimes will drive us to the shore of its waters, with excellent possibilities for water sports, and the megalithic remains of Casiña da Moura and Casola do Foxo. The native cattle cattle that is perfectly suited to the difficulties of the mountain range is the Cachena cow, miniature with long horns. They've been in danger of extintion. A good place to watch them is in the City of Entrimo. Specifically, accessing from the municipal capital of A Terrachá to Olelas, one of the most original villages in the province of Ourense... The climate diversity imposes, in the Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés Natural Park, two climates and, consequently, two different vegetation. One of the great attractions of this park is its scenic variety. As for the vegetation, this space is located between two large regions of European flora: the Euro-Siberian, of the Atlantic province, and the Mediterranean, of the Carpetano-leonese province. As such, the evergreens alternate between evergreens, which are unique to humid climates and evergreens. Well, we found mussels oak, birch trees (under 1,000 meters), chestnut, holly, or heather. Among the wildlife must be mentioned in the kestrel, the mouse, the viper and some wolves. There are also rabbits, roe deer, and wild boars. Locals take advantage of the land using pastures and forage foraging, alternating with rye beans. For those who love natural and cultural values Vegetation: Transition area between two large European floral regions: the Eurosiberiana (Atlantic province) and the Mediterranean (Carpetano-leonese province). This is why the vegetation alternates between forests of expired trees, characteristic of humid climatic conditions, with evergreen ones, more suited to the lack of water during certain periods of the year. The most extensive plant formation is the expiring forest, with oak trees (Quercus Pyrenaica) and birch trees (Celtic Betula), with the presence of strawberry and holly at the highest heights. There are several plant endemic plants, including the Prunus Iusitanica, a species that settles the ravines and other areas of great humidity. Wildlife: Mummies: There is a riding recovery program (Equus Caballus) called Poni Galician de Garrano, which lives in a semi-permanent regime in the upper parts (Leboreiro, O Quinxo, Santa Eufemia, Xurés ou Pisco). The wildlife is very varied. Among the amphibians and reptiles we can mention the salamander rabilarga, the Iberian lizard and the viperina culebra. The two reservoirs set in the park are the habitat for major bird populations. Zampullín chico, Anade real, sleepworms and many ash ash grove are some of them. You can also see the presence of golden eagle, alcohol, azor, hawk, snake eagle, common cernícalo, cuco, picapinos peak and expired. In addition to cinematic species such as boar, deer, parsley, hare, or rabbit, mammals are represented by wolf. Common musaraña, otter hill, gin, boar cat, and grilled. Trout will show trout in the watercourses. Culture: The architecture of the area features old ground floor houses and a single enclosure inside which people and cattle apparently lived together. Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés unites its natural values and other archaeological values, such as those that represent its dolmens, which in the area are known as "mamuas". Un dos principais atractivos deste parque natural é a súa gran variedade de paisaxes. Aquí mestúranse serras escarpadas con outras de formas máis suaves, nas que o granito é o protagonista, pequenos ríos que discorren por entre as rochas, ás veces descolgándose en fervenzas e saltos de auga, e espesos bosques cheos de vida. Debido ás dúas rexións de flora europea que se dan cita neste parque, a eurosiberiana e a mediterránea, a variedade de vexetación é moi elevada. Así, bosques caducifolios de carballo e bidueiro alternan con outros de folla perenne, como os de sobreira ou érbedo. A perfect example of biolithic richness and proof that it is given the level of protection for the Special Protection Zone of Two Naturais Values. At various flora supone diversity of fauna. Aquí atopan refuxio aves de rapina como a aguia real, aves forestais e acuáticas, anfibios e réptiles, mamíferos como ou ou xabaril, varias especies de peixes... Ata os animais domésticos teñen a súa importancia neste parque. É o caso da vaca cachena, raza autóctona en perigo de extinción que conta cun plan de fomento por parte da Consellería de Agricultura da Xunta de Galicia. Hai mámoas e dolmens do Paleolítico; castros, vías, baños e miliarios da época romana; numerosas mostras de arquitectura medieval e infinidade de exemplos de arquitectura popular perfectamente integrados na paisaxe. Todo isto son valiosos testemuños da acción do home nesta comarca. In the steepest areas there are good "carballeiras" of oak and melojo (Quercus pyrenaica), in which the chestnut is intermixed. The native vegetation is complete with cork oak areas. In the most inaccessible, the carballs are mixed with holly and shingles. Some curiosities such as the luscanic Prunus or laurel cherry blossom in Portugal, which only grows naturally in a few enclaves of the Iberian Peninsula and which is a real relic of periods where the climate was mildest. The rest of the territory is occupied by a heath-tojal Fauna There are currently over 30 species of mammals and 140 birds. Highlights include the wolf, garden, deer, boar, royal owl, golden eagle, falcon, stork, herons, etc. Highlight the existence of two breeds of native cows, the "barosa" and the "cachena", both in danger of extinction and the groups of "garranos" and "Galician ponies" that live in semi-energy in the Sierra de Leboreiro. The house is located southwest of the province of Orense, in the submarket of A Baixa Limia. It occupies a wide territory corresponding to the highest areas of the Concejos de Entrimo, Lobios, and Muíños, in which the town of Requias stands out, bordering Portugal and the Portuguese National Park of Peneda- Gerês. Overall, it constitutes a succession of crests and valleys of scarce length and steep sloping . The vegetation of the Park includes both species of the Atlantic and Mediterranean terrain. There are plenty of honeydew oak trees, which is accompanied below 1000 meters by birch trees and at higher altitudes by wild pine and yew. There are also chestnut trees, holly trees, cork oaks, madroños and, in the shrubby stratum, heather and piornos. In addition, there are enclaves with restocking, mainly Pinus pinaster. The riverside forests around the waterways are mostly made up of ash, boils, popsicles, willow and hazelnuts. Existing wildlife includes open-air birds of prey, such as the communal ceremonies and the mouse or ash eagle. They also fly over the area, golden eagles, and nightclubs. Among mammals mention the presence of a reduced wolf colony, along with other species such as rabbit, roe deer, fox, otter or wild boar.
