River Cabe

The source of the river Cabe is at an altitude of 900 m, in the Loureira mountains. It converges with the river Antigua to the left and, further along, flows into the Lemos graben, which fills with sediments, aided by the rivers Saa and Mao. Downstream, it converges with the river Cinsa and the small river Ferreira.

The unique topographical features of these landscapes is also the reason for their special climate. Bridges, mills, but also stately homes, wineries set among vineyards and religious art are all part of the scenery surrounding the Cabe, just waiting for you to enjoy them.

It boasts well-preserved riverside vegetation and a notable Iberian nase population. Forests of Galician-Portuguese oak trees, chestnut trees, heather, gorse and riverside vegetation.
