Spain - The Ribeira Sacra, Lugo and Orense

The Ribeira Sacra is crossed by the middle course of the rivers Mino and Sil, passing through the provinces of Lugo and Orense. This area, very well defined geographically, is renowned for the monumental wealth of the whole Ribeira: important archaeological and architectural remains, among which it should be noted a string of monasteries such as San Esteban de Atan, Santa Cristina de Ribas de Sil , San Esteban de Chouzan and, the most emblematic, San Esteban de Ribas de Sil.
