The Prada Reservoir is approximately 15 kilometres long; Casdenodres is one of six settlements on its shore. This location connects the village with the reservoir, while the church and the Feast of San Blas provide a distinct cultural connection. Two routes lead either through Casdenodres or to the village. At O Parque Náutico on the reservoir, you can also go canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding and sport fishing. For planning your trip, you can compare three distinct focuses: local culture, the specific route connections and an activity on the water.
Church and local tradition
The Igrexa de Casdenodres (Parroquial de San Salvador) church is located in Casdenodres. Its tabernacle has three doors and consists of three interconnected tabernacles. This feature offers a specific cultural point of interest for understanding the church. For travellers interested in sacred furnishings, it makes the church distinctive beyond its name.
San Blas is also celebrated in Casdenodres. This brings a structural feature and a local religious tradition together. If you choose San Blas as the occasion for your trip, check the exact dates of the celebrations in advance. That way, you can plan around the tradition without conflating it with the permanently named church.
Routes with different connections to the village
The Ruta perimetral do Encoro runs along the Prada Reservoir and through Casdenodres; the Senda Verde do Xares PR-G 211 leads to the village. The routes therefore have different connections to Casdenodres: the first combines a route along the reservoir with a passage through the village, while the second has Casdenodres as its destination. This offers a practical way to choose whether to prioritise the lakeside route through the village or the village as a destination.
A Senda Verde signpost in A Veiga indicates 3 km to Casdenodres. In Casdenodres, a signpost for the same route indicates 1.2 km to Playa del Coiñedo and 2.2 km to A Veiga, the route’s starting point. These distances refer to signposts at different locations and are not walking times. Together, the signposts provide guidance from two directions: from A Veiga to Casdenodres and from Casdenodres to the destinations indicated there.
The approximately 15 kilometres refers to the length of the Prada Reservoir, not to any single route. Signage and trail conditions on the Senda Verde may change; check the current route before setting out.
Activities at the Prada Reservoir
At O Parque Náutico on the Prada Reservoir, you can go canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding and sport fishing. The options range from paddle sports to sport fishing, catering to different interests. If a particular activity is important to your trip, check in advance whether it will be available when you visit. This lets you plan around the specific activity you want to enjoy.
