The environment of the Miño River in this area allows you to appreciate a bridge built with stone pillars and a central iron span, which connects with the Concello de O Saviñao and facilitates access to Belesar. The terraced vineyards descend along the mountain slopes, creating a picturesque landscape complemented by the vegetation on the banks of the Miño.
In this setting, the effort and dedication required for the cultivation and harvesting of the vines are evident, visible in the tracks installed on the slopes to transport the grapes to the river and, from there, comfortably move them to the wineries for processing.

- Environment
- This pier allows navigation on the Miño River and enjoyment of its unique features. Upstream, whenever the vessel's height permits, you can reach Belesar and admire its ports, vineyards, village, and churches. Downstream navigation offers views of the terraces and slopes, where small hamlets seem to hang from the mountains. During the journey, it is possible to observe Romanesque churches and hermitages that enrich the heritage of the area. The town of Chantada, due to its location and characteristics, offers connections to other places of interest such as Portomarín and Os Peares, where the Miño and Sil rivers converge.
