Parga River

Nature · Guitiriz, Terra Chá, Lugo

The Parga river is born at the confluence of several streams near Nodar, in Friol, and soon enters the municipality of Guitiriz, where it crosses the town of Parga, which gives it its name, as well as several of its parishes. Along its 32-kilometre course it receives the Boedo river and, already in Begonte, the Roca river before joining the Ladra, whose waters end up in the Miño. As it passes through Baamonde it forms a river beach beside a mill and a weir that serves as a natural pool for bathers. Over its course, in Guitiriz, stands the medieval bridge of Santo Alberte, next to the chapel of the same name.
