ROUTES BY CAR - ROUTE 1, ROUTES FOR DISCOVERING COSTA DA MORTE

Cascade in As Caldeiras do Castro

Caldeiras do Castro A few metres from the church of Moraime, take a right turn onto the road to Cee and Corcubión, which passes through Morpeguite and Vilarmide. If you turn left here towards Coucieiro and Trasufre, you’ll have the chance to visit the Caldeiras do Castro, a space of great natural and geological interest next to the river Castro, formed by the channelling of the river when it crosses an area of granite in which the water descends and forms rapids and cascades. Over time the river has formed large basins or pools, locally referred to as caldeiras. The 17th c. chapel of Santo Outelo and a calvary of the same period can be seen in the leisure area just before the river.

At the exit of Caldeiras do Castro turn right towards Trasufre, where you can see the sanctuary of A Virxe do Espiño or da Santiña, where a fiesta is held every 21 September. This road leads out to the regional 552 motorway that takes you to Cee and Corcubión.

If you decide not to go to the Caldeiras do Castro, continue on the CP-2303 road, which crosses the river Castro at Ponte Constante and links with the AC-552 in A Pereiriña.

When you reach the roundabout at Lobelos, instead of heading towards Fisterra, keep straight ahead to see the historical town of Corcubión, the final stop on this route.
