Circular walks, viewpoints and nature observation offer different ways to enjoy a stay in Bolmente. The routes range from a circular route with a guided wine tasting to a link between two Miradoiros and another circular route through native forests.

Hiking: a circular route or a link between the viewpoints

The Ruta del Eucalipto del Médico is a 4.45 km circular route. It begins beside the Miradoiro de Boqueiriño and ends with a guided wine tasting at Bodega Cividade. The winemaker conducts the tasting by prior reservation. If you want to include it in your plans, take the reservation into account when planning your stay. A different distance applies to the approximately three-kilometre link between the Miradoiro de Cividade and the Miradoiro de Boqueiriño. This link is suitable for hiking and observing the local flora and fauna. The figures are therefore not interchangeable: 4.45 km refers to the circular route, while approximately three kilometres refers to the link between the viewpoints. So, when choosing, consider not only the distance but also whether you plan to take a circular route or link the Miradoiros.

A Cividade: canyon, waterfalls and recreation area

The Miradoiro de A Cividade is located more than 500 m above the river. A metal walkway projects several metres into the canyon; it was created by landscape architect Isabel Aguirre. During periods of heavy rainfall, waterfalls that feed the Sil can be seen from there. There is also a small recreation area at the Miradoiro. The site thus combines a distinctive structure with a natural feature that depends on rainfall.

Boqueiriño and the route to da Paxota

The Miradoiro de Boqueiriño faces the Mosteiro Santa Cristina de Ribas de Sil. The Ruta del Eucalipto del Médico begins beside this viewpoint. Another circular route in Bolmente starts at the Romanesque church of Santa María and leads through native forests to the enigmatic petroglyph site of da Paxota. When choosing a route, you can distinguish between a link connecting viewpoints and a route from the church through the forest to a specific destination. These routes therefore appeal to different interests.

Cycling route note

The Bolmente’s Viewpoints Cycle Tourist Route is not signposted for bicycles; using a GPS device is recommended. Include this navigation note in your plans if you choose this particular cycling route.

Planning your stay and hotel search

The guided wine tasting requires a prior reservation; GPS is recommended for the cycling route. Walking routes, by contrast, can be compared using the stated distances and endpoints. These planning considerations apply to the respective activities.
