Os Peares Enclave and River Beach
About this heritage
Os Peares is a unique locality situated in the enclave known as Tres Ríos, where the Sil, Búbal, and Miño rivers converge. This village is famous for its administrative complexity: it belongs to two provinces (Lugo and Ourense), four municipalities, three judicial districts, and two dioceses, making it the most complex village in Spain. In 1999, the different administrations created the Os Peares Local Consortium to better manage its services. Additionally, Os Peares has an area adapted as a river beach, ideal for swimming in the dammed waters of the Miño, which attracts numerous visitors and locals in the summer.
To learn more
Os Peares is a very special village because it is right where three rivers meet: the Sil, the Búbal, and the Miño. The curious thing is that it belongs to two different provinces, Lugo and Ourense, and to four different municipalities, all at once! That’s why it is said to be the most complicated village in Spain. There is a river beach where, in summer, people go to swim and have fun in the water. It’s a great place to spend a day with family and see how the rivers mix.
