In Galicia are many sites which, in part to the Camino de Santiago, help us discover many of the mysteries and stories hidden behind. However, in some cases we find other equally interesting places that are far from the usual routes. Today we found some of these enclaves.
Greek legends tell Charon in his boat carrying wandering souls. The boatman of Hades had carry crude mission in order to find them a "new" life. Do you know where to pass one of these places? Exactly Galicia. More specifically we talk about San Andres de Teixido, an enclave in which the souls of the dead traveled to become stone.
This time we traveled to Pontevedra to ourselves face to face with one of the greatest mysteries seen in a rock group. The call Mogor Petroglyph has the honor of being one of the sites which, according to their forms, resulting in several brands that are distributed by. A cult an astronomical guide? Everything is a resounding mystery when it comes to Mogor and art.
Today is completely logical and normal that we turn to drugs to heal, either a mild headache diseases through more critical. But what if we must go back to the fourteenth century for example? Bed San Xiao received the curious name of "magic" and it is no wonder. Anyone who lie on this stone located in the Natural Park of Monte Aloia will be released from any disease. Of course, the legend incites try.
If there is a forest that has earned by its own merits the qualification of enchanted or magical place, that is the one known as Bosque da Fervenza. Located just 15 kilometers from Lugo, the enclave has very old oak and alder trees, which added to the presence of the Miño river, give the couple an environment typical of fairy tales or horror, depending on how you look at it. A place that undoubtedly transports you to another era, being worthy of at least one visit.
And we continue with forests, this time with one of the most popular in Galicia: Fragas do Eume. A sacred place with more than 9000 hectares belonging to the municipalities of Capela, Monfero, Pontedeume and As Pontes. To speak of its "protagonists" is to speak of holly trees, chestnut trees, strawberry trees, oaks and more than twenty species of ferns. Among the must-sees, the remains of the Caaveiro Monastery are certainly worth noting.
