Rock of the Four Knights

Nature · A Pobra do Brollón, Terra de Lemos, Lugo

The Pena dos Catro Cabaleiros is a Galician peak 1,131 metres high, located on the boundary of the municipalities of A Pobra do Brollón, Samos, O Incio and Folgoso do Courel, on the western side of the Serra do Courel. Its name recalls that in past times the knights of the four municipalities met at this spot to settle jurisdictional matters; the tradition survives today through the annual gathering of the four municipalities' mayors. At the centre of the viewpoint stands a round granite table with four seats, in honour of those meetings, from which the Val de Lemos and the ridges of the Serra do Courel can both be seen at once.
