Description

La Ribeira Sacra est traversée par le cours moyen des fleuves Mino et Sil, à leur passage par les provinces de Lugo et d'Orense. Cette zone, très bien délimitée géographiquement, est réputée pour la richesse monumentale de toute la Ribeira: d'importants vestiges arquéologiques et architecturaux, parmi lesquels il convient de souligner un chapelet de monastères tels que San Esteban de Atan, Santa Cristina de Ribas de Sil, San Esteban de Chouzan et, le plus emblematique, San Esteban de Ribas de Sil.
