| The
municipality of Castrelo de Miño |
 |
This
municipality was known in the middle ages as “Castrum Minei”.
It contains six parishes: Vide, Ponte Castrelo, Prado, Astariz, Castrelo
de Miño and Macendo. Its municipal capital is Barral.
Inside there are many attractive monuments, including the church of
St Marie of Castrelo built in the Romantic style as well as the church
of Prado de Miño and the baroque of Astariz.
Amongst the civil architecture we must also mention the house of ´the
Capela´ in Barral and the tower de Vide.
This municipal has a recreational area of great interest, ‘The
Colo of Novelle’, from where we can see both Cavadiña
and Ourense and even the mountains of Portugal. This municipality
also contains the Nautical Club, which is very popular in Galicia.

This
complex is a sailing and water sports school with windsurfing, motorboats,
swimming pool, and football, tennis and basketball camp facilities.
It is on the side of a reservoir in the municipality.
Of the festivals that deserve attention there is the ‘Festival
of the Anguila’, a festival which is growing little-by-little,
with more public interest year after year.
During this festival we can quench our thirsts with some great wines
from the local vineyards.
