Buezas: Winegrowing, Circular Route and Cultural Heritage

For a trip to Buezas, winegrowing, hiking and cultural history offer different areas of focus. Adega Buezas represents winegrowing; its guided tour covers the grape harvest and winemaking. The Ruta dos Carballos de Aldariz is a circular route with a stated length and estimated duration. Also in the area around Buezas is Chan da Gorita, as well as the Cruceiro de Buezas, which is listed as a cultural heritage asset. This lets you decide in advance whether to focus your trip more on wine, outdoor activity or archaeological history.

Winegrowing and guided tour

Adega Buezas is a family winery in the Galician village of Buezas, Sanxenxo, within the Galician Rías Baixas. It makes its wine exclusively from grapes grown entirely in its own vineyards. The vines are traditionally trained on trellises, rather than on wires. This training method is intended to provide better ventilation for the grapes and protect them from the dampness of the Atlantic mist. For visitors, winegrowing is therefore reflected both in the finished product and in the work carried out in the vineyard.

The “Adopta una cepa” programme concerns vines in the vineyards that are more than 100 years old. The guided tour focuses on the grape harvest and the winemaking process. It also includes a tasting of the white wine “Peón & Rei by Adega Buezas”, accompanied by gourmet preserves. The tour takes place in Nantes, Sanxenxo. If this activity is important to your trip planning, check the latest visitor information in advance.

Circular route and landscape

The Ruta dos Carballos de Aldariz is a 6.30-kilometre circular route. It is rated as moderate, with an estimated duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes. This gives you three different points of reference for planning: distance, difficulty rating and time required. The time is a guide, as it is an estimate. The route passes through the Leirana oak grove, where oak, laurel, chestnut, buckthorn and holly grow; the trail is therefore characterised by a specific mix of woodland. A signposted turn-off leads to Con da Ventureira, marking this named detour along the route.

Archaeology and cultural heritage

Chan da Gorita, in the area around Buezas, is regarded as a megalithic settlement with several burial mounds. Large stones formed access corridors and chambers for individual or collective burials; the site dates from 2000 to 1000 BC. This date range spans one thousand years; it does not refer to a single year of construction. Burial mounds, access corridors and chambers describe different elements of the same burial site. The Cruceiro de Buezas is listed as a cultural heritage asset. Together, these sites represent different forms of cultural heritage: a dated burial site and a listed cultural heritage asset.
