In Queo de Abaixo, architectural heritage and walking can be considered as different focuses for a trip. Casa Mar de Queo and several hórreos provide tangible points of reference for the built heritage. For walks, you can consider the Ruta dos Muíños do Pan and the banks of the Anllóns, with named destinations in Bértoa and Carballo. When planning, the main distinction is whether to focus on architectural landmarks or on a specific route.

Architectural Heritage and Local History

The Casa Mar de Queo building is a residential building from the 18th century and is listed as architectural heritage. Several hórreos are also listed as cultural heritage; Casa Mar de Queo itself has a hórreo. This places several other structures in the village alongside the dating of a single residential building. Those interested in cultural heritage can consider both a specific building and several hórreos as distinct points of reference.

A separate historical note concerns San Martiño: in the 16th century, San Martiño had the status of a parish; it was later incorporated into Santa María.

Casa Mar de Queo has the independent Palenque restaurant, with 100 seats. If you would like to include it in your meal plans, check the restaurant's opening and seating availability before your trip.

Walking Routes and Mills

The section of the Ruta dos Muíños do Pan from A Cheda to the Ponte de Bértoa is walkable. From the bridge, the route passes through the Bosque do Añón and the San Martiño and Anllóns city parks; it then leads to the walking path to Muíño do Quinto. Muíño do Quinto is the only mill in the municipality that is still operating. This sequence connects a named bridge section with woodland, parks and a mill path.

The restored banks of the Anllóns now form an established leisure route of about seven kilometers for the round trip from Muíño do Quinto to the neighboring parish of Bértoa. You can also walk from Bértoa to Carballo along the Anllóns river promenade. The roughly seven kilometers refers to the round trip. One specific distinction can help you choose a route: along the Anllóns, the approximate distance provides a guide; on the Ruta dos Muíños do Pan, you can follow the sequence of woodland, city parks and mill path.

Relaxation in Bértoa

The Refuxio de Queo in Bértoa is a place to relax in a natural setting and has a recreation area with tables and benches. The seating is a useful point of reference for travelers who would also like to plan some time outdoors at a place to relax during their stay. The Refuxio is accessible via the road from Carballo to A Coruña. Alongside the walking routes described, this provides a separate place to relax and a specific road connection for orientation.
