PR-G 138 Ruta Val do Glaciar de Prada
This route begins at the parish church of San Miguel de Bidueira, a jewel of eighteenth-century Baroque architecture, popularly known as the “Cathedral of Manzaneda”.
Directions Following the River Requeixo we come to the abandoned village of Prada, which preserves part of the Chapel of San Bartolomeu, and several of its traditional high-mountain homes that are currently used as winter shelter for livestock. You can also enjoy an excellent view over the Glacial Cirque of Prada, dating from between 50,000 to 10,000 years ago and which submitted the mountains of Serra de Queixa and O Invernadeiro to a glacier abrasion process.
From Prada, through O Ponton, A Biduela and O Salgueiro, along high mountain trails and narrow pathways, we return to the village of San Miguel de Bidueira. In Requeixo we can take a diversion from the main route and visit the village of Placín.
