Discover Reboredo: Mills, Chapel and Castro

The area around Reboredo offers several cultural attractions with different points of interest: mills and fulling mills on the Río Grande, a chapel on Monte de San Bartolomeu dated to 1681, and a castro at Castro. There is also a route to a church, a walking route with an optional climb, and the feast day of San Bartolomeu. For your travel plans, you can distinguish between riverside sites, historic places and route information.

Mills and fulling mills on the Río Grande

MUIÑOS E BATÁNS DO MOSQUETÍN is located on the banks of the Río Grande. The complex comprises three fulling mills and seven grain mills. These figures give a concrete sense of the two types of facilities that together form an ensemble here. When visiting, you can consider the fulling mills and grain mills as distinct parts of the complex without losing sight of how they are connected. The site is accessible every day throughout the year; the machinery can also be seen in operation. However, this depends on staff availability and water levels. Access to the site is therefore separate from the possibility of seeing the machinery in operation. If this is the experience you are particularly interested in, take the stated conditions into account when planning and check whether it will be possible before your visit.

Chapel and archaeological heritage

A chapel dated to 1681 stands on Monte de San Bartolomeu, in the Reboredo area. The year provides a specific historical reference for this building. There is a castro, an archaeological heritage site, at Castro. These sites offer different points of interest: a dated building and an archaeological site. You can therefore include the chapel, with its historical date, and the castro as two distinct cultural attractions in your plans.

Directions and walking route

To reach the Igrexa Parroquial de Santa María de Salto, first head to Reboredo and then continue towards Castro. Another route option is the walking route “Batáns e muìños do Mosquetín - Reboredo - Ermita de San Bartolomé - Vimianzo. (Vuelta),” which includes an optional climb to the Ermita de San Bartolomé. On the return to Vimianzo, the route follows a local road through Reboredo. These provide different kinds of information to help you find your way: directions to the church and a walking route with an optional climb and a described return leg. Before setting out, check current trail conditions and signage.

Feast day and travel dates

In the parish of Salto, San Bartolomeu is associated with the feast day on 24 August. The programme may vary from year to year. If you choose to travel for the feast day, check the specific dates for the relevant year.
