Information
Verín is the central town in the Monterrei region, very near the border with Portugal and bathed by the river Támega. Its ancient carnivals are well known, as are its springs and castle. The fortress of Monterrei preserves its walled enclosures, the Gothic church of Santa María de Gracia and the palace of the Counts of Monterrei, which today is a Parador de Turismo.
The Verín Carnival has been declared a festival of national tourist interest. You’ll be delighted by traditions as amusing as the flour wars against visitors, and others as deeply rooted in the local culture as the Cigarrón, the main character who, dressed in an exquisitely-decorated carved wooden mask, with cowbells on his waist and lashes, whips locals and visitors.
Environment
The region of Monterrei is also known for its wine production. By appointment, you can visit and enjoy winetasting at the numerous wineries of the Monterrei D.O.. And, if you like nature, in the area around Verín you can hike in the Invernadeiro Nature Reserve, a unique natural landscape for which a permit from the Galician Regional Government is required.
If you’re a lover of sports in nature, Verín is the perfect setting for mountain biking and hiking routes. At the Parador we´ll answer all your questions, and we offer horse riding, golf and seasonal swimming activities.
Another option for tourists is to visit the Portuguese city of Chaves and discover its Medieval legacy.
