This forest of 45.185 square meters of surface, possesses exceptional species of oaks and chestnut-trees, some of the above mentioned with 30 meters of height and 5 meters and a half of perimeter. They are considered fastest annual growing of Europe. It was property of ?Quiroga? family, inhabitants of the Mainhouse located in a place with the same name, just a few metres away from forest. Just for that, this forest is also known as ?Souto de Quiroga?, ?Carballeira de Quiroga? or ?Fraga de Quiroga?. In the year 1864, one of the descending ones of this family marries Emilia Pardo Bazán, who, years later, wrote some chapters of her book ?Os Pazos de Ulloa? just there, at Mainhouse. In the middle of the 20th century FAO (United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture) applied for the forest protection. In the year 1998 it became property of the Council of Agriculture and Environment, being declared Natural Monument in the year 2000. This forest can be enjoyed by a signposted circular path, with a simple and short route, just over one kilometer long, equipped with interpretive panels.;Coordinates;42.635707;-8.095567;,,,,;;;;;; Oak is the most representative tree of Galicia. Its hard wood was used to build ships and it says that huge oak groves were cut down to build Armada Invencible fleet. Until not long ago, it was the essential row material to build houses, train steps and charcoal. It still used today as combustible material in rural Galicia. This oak grove, with an area of 30.000 square meter, was property of the near Barcia´s Manor house. It has specimens that are more of two thousand years old, which were planted so that from any perspective you see perfectly align trees. This characteristic become it in one of the most photographic place in the region.;Coordinates;42.6258333;-008.1902778;;;;;;; Zone declared SAC (Special Area of Conservation) of 1.124 hectares, shared with the municipalities of Agolada, Vila de Cruces and Lalín where parishes of A Veiga, Cadrón, Galegos, Muimenta, Parada and Rodís are included. It stretches for part of the hillsides and the valley of the Arnego river, up to its river mouth in Portodemouros's reservoir, in the Ulla river. Cork oak, present in Galicia only in the zones most sheltered of fluvial valleys, has in the shores of this river, one of the best preserved mixed and more extensive forest of community. Some specimen come up to 25 meters of height. The existence of this species (and another ones like arbutus) is possible in this zone because of climatic conditions of Mediterranean type. For centuries, the extracted bark from these cork oaks was taken for different uses like the manufacturing of bee utensils or utensils for bee-keeping (hives). This zone continue supporting the tradition of extracting the bark, labour carried out by portuguese specialists because Portugal has a great bee-keeping tradition. Some species of fauna, threatened, find in this place a refuge for its survival, specially those associated with the course of river as otter, musk rat or mussel of river that has in ?Arnego?, one of its last baby populations of all Europe.;Coordinates of "aldea Rodís";42.7596111;-008.0866389;;;;;;; This zone declared SAC (Special Area of Conservation) with 10.699 hectares, is shared with the municipalities of Beariz, Forcarei, O Irixo, Silleda and Lalín with part of ?Vilatuxe's? parish and the totality of Zobra. Montains of Candán forms landscapes with a special orography in which we can highlight peaks as ?Coco? mount (969 m.), ?Uceiro? (1004 m.) or ?San Bieito?, which is the highest with 1015 meters of altitude. In Candan, rivers ?Lerez? and ?Umia? rises, in the western face, and numerous creeks spill its water in the high course of the river ?Deza?, forming beautiful waterfalls. This river, with ?Arnego? and ?Ulla?, defines the idiosyncrasy of Deza region. These characteristics promote the existence of species of flora and fauna with a great ecological value. Here, the major size forests of ?Pontevedra? grow. They are formed by indigenous trees like oaks, hollies... Also, there are species of minor size as cranberry and rusco, as well as diverse endemic species. In the highest hillsides, vegetation is scrubland, heathers, shrubs, gorses...Also, It is necessary to highlight the existence of peatland zones where hight-value botanical plants grow, as the drosera or arnica. All this set offers a spectacular range of colours that change throughout the year. Among fauna we can highlight emblematic species as the wolf, the brave cat or the royal owl, which there are only a few pairs in Galicia. In Candán montains, ornithologists will find a great range of birds, like kingfisher, water blackbird, passerine birds, golden oriole, night jar, crowned solitary eagle, European honey buzzard, small falcon, hen harrier, Eurasian scops owl...amongst many others. Also, numerous reptiles and amphibians are present in this mountain as Schreiber's green lizard, common salamander or Iberian painted frog. The orography, made up of narrow and deep valleys where small rivers run through, crossed for small bridges (made of wood or stone) made the agriculture difficult. Because of this, different trades and activities were developed like to cultivate and to spin linen or to develop bee-keeping. An evidence of this age-old bee-keeping is that, in this area, there is one of the major beehives concentration area of Iberian Northwest and, nowadays, honey is one of its most recognized products. Later, the exploitation of tin mines did that, in its day, the locality of ? A Trigueira? was the most prosperous of the municipality, being one of the first of having electrical light. Nowadays, constructions of that time are conserved and re-turned for tourist utilization.;Coordinates small village Zobra,Coordinates small village Bustelos;42.5673056,42.5864167;-008.2024167,-008.2435556;;;;;;;
