What to see on a weekend in the Municipality of Zas

Zas is a destination that surprises with its combination of nature, history and living traditions. Spending a weekend in this municipality of the Costa da Morte means enjoying walks through centuries-old oak groves, discovering dolmens and pazos full of legend, or letting yourself be carried away by the music and popular festivals that fill each parish with life. Whether you are passionate about the tranquility of the river paths or if you are looking to get to know the stately heritage or immerse yourself in the authenticity of its celebrations, in Zas you will always find a perfect plan. Here we propose a guide to make the most of a Saturday and Sunday in our municipality, with experiences that combine leisure, culture and tradition.

What to see in Zas on a Saturday

In the morning, we propose a relaxing walk through the oak grove of Baio, a natural space bathed by the waters of the Rio Grande. From its left bank you can head towards the recreational area of Pedra Vixía and, along the way, you will find old mills. From the area, a few meters away, following the river on the left side, you will discover the remains of the dolmen of Pedra Vixía.

In the afternoon, we suggest you take the Route of the Pazos. Four houses of the Galician nobility from different eras, among which is considered the oldest palace in Galicia, the Torres do Allo, a beautiful building declared BIC (Asset of Cultural Interest) that currently houses a tourist information center. The other three, Follente, Romelle and Edreiras, are privately owned so you can only get to know their exteriors.

A Weekend in Zas

Keep in mind that if your stay in the municipality of Zas coincides with the first Saturday of August, you will have an obligatory appointment at the Festa da Carballeira de Zas, where throughout the day one of the most important folk music festivals in Galicia is held, year after year. Without a clutch, if you happen to be on the fourth Saturday of August, you must attend the Pilgrimage of San Roque do Monte in the parish of Mira, a festival characterized by the feast of roosters, religious acts, musical performances and a multitudinous country snack.

What to see in Zas on a Sunday

At the beginning of the day, enjoy the small route from Zas to Rial de Abaixo. In it, you will visit its oak tree and see beautiful views of the municipality from its highest points.

After lunch, head to the south of the municipality to do the Brandomil Route, with must-visit enclaves to learn about the Roman and megalithic past of this territory.

A Weekend in Zas

If during your stay in Zas it coincides with the morning of the third Sunday of the month, go to the town of Baio, where the monthly fair takes place where you will find a multitude of street stalls offering all kinds of items. Without a clue, if your passage through Zas is at the beginning of summer, on the last Sunday of June, attend the Festa de la Carballeira de Baio, a great pilgrimage in which you will enjoy a day full of musical performances. On the contrary, take note if you visit us on the first Sunday of July when you will have the opportunity to see the Rapa das Bestas de Carreira, an event in the place of A Pedragueira in which the participants are in charge of gathering the horses and then cutting the manes.
