Mountains of la Paradanta

Nature · As Neves, Condado, Pontevedra

Image of As Neves, not of the place itself.

A mountain range that closes off As Neves to the north and gives its name to the neighbouring comarca of A Paradanta, with the monte de San Nomedio as the main peak in the municipality, although the highest point of the whole range, the monte Paradanta at 954 metres, rises in the neighbouring concello of A Caniza. It separates the basin of the Miño from that of the Tea amid brañas and mountain scrub. On the last Sunday of August the curro da Paradanta is held on its heights, a traditional day of livestock handling, and on the range the Romaría da Franqueira also takes place, one of the most well-attended in the comarca.
