Description
You can choose from several combinations; it is possible to start the journey in A Guarda from the neighbourhood of A Cruzada, either from the parish of Camposancos or from the highest point on the mountain that houses the Visitors’ Centre and other services for hikers.
This set of pathways provides us with a geographical area of exceptional beauty, with endless views over the River Miño, its mouth and the Atlantic Ocean – it is a unique viewpoint.
Each pathway maintains its own identity and proposes routes to visit places like the Santa Trega Hill Fort, the Ares Viewpoint, A Pedra Furada and A Cruz do Home, among others.
The series of services located on Santa Trega, with a car park and catering, among others, are the perfect combination to plan a whole day of enjoyment in outstanding surroundings.
A plus
Santa Trega Hill Fort
Monte Santa Trega Hill Fort. At a height of 326 metres and almost at the summit of the mountain, this settlement dating from the 1st century BC is an example of the strategic type with its defenses in the mouth of the River Miño and the proximity of crop fields and pasture for livestock.
It was declared a National Historical and Artistic Monument in 1931 and only a small part of the site has been excavated.
It is one of the most advanced hill forts in the peninsula and even has a restored house. Highlights include the composition and zoning of the streets and its water channelling system. The houses are grouped into districts of eight houses with a fortification around the whole. Circular constructions predominate, in many cases with an entrance hall, but there are also oval and square constructions.
There is also a small museum which exhibits pieces from the excavation.
