The Sil river, as it flows through this area, allows us to contemplate the beginnings of the canyon, highlighting the steep slopes covered by terraced vineyards (Amandi). On them, the paths used to transport the grapes to the river, where they were loaded onto boats, can be seen. The traditional constructions of the area are oriented to maximize sun exposure and protect against cold winds and rain. The river routes offer a privileged perspective of the landscape, revealing the grandeur of the Sil Canyon and the traditional civil works that dot villages and monasteries.
