In Campañó, archaeological and religious heritage sits alongside Parque Forestal da Tomba, with its 17 kilometres of trails. This offers two distinct ways to plan your trip: spend time in the park or explore the history of the parish and its archaeological traces.

Trails and directions in Parque Forestal da Tomba

By car, you can reach Parque Forestal da Tomba from the Cabaleiro roundabout in Campañó via the VG-4.8 turn-off. There is another road entrance from Polígono do Vao. The central car park of Parque forestal de A Tomba is next to Mirador do Torreiro, a specific point of reference in the park. Road and trail conditions may change; check them before driving there or setting out on foot.

The park is close to Pontevedra city centre and can be reached on foot from there. One access route runs through Xunqueira da Gándara, along the motorway service road, and through the areas of Ribeiro and O Casal de Rei in Campañó. The park has 17 kilometres of trails. If you are planning a walk, allow time based on the route you want to take rather than relying solely on the total distance.

Archaeological traces and building history

Petroglyphs can be found at both Castro de Fiestoso and Castro do Outeiro. There are also six Mámoas in Campañó. Various objects and pottery fragments have been found next to Castro de Sineiro. The archaeological heritage is therefore not limited to a single site, but encompasses several named places and types of remains.

The parish church adds architectural and artistic history to this picture. The original parish church of Campañó had Romanesque design features. Construction of the present main chapel began at the start of the 18th century. The church also contains a Gothic depiction of the Virxe do O dating from the 14th century. These elements offer different points of reference in time: the design of the original church, the start of construction of the main chapel, and the dating of the depiction.

Cruceiros are also part of Campañó’s cultural heritage, with many scattered throughout the area. The Cruceiro in Balseira is the oldest in Campañó and dates from the 16th century. Along with the castros and the parish church, it broadens the view of local heritage beyond a single complex of buildings.

Traditional festival dates

The festival in honour of San Pedro is celebrated on 29 June, followed by San Paio on 30 June. The Virxe das Dores is celebrated on 17 and 18 September. These dates provide a seasonal framework for local festival traditions. The specific programme may vary from year to year, so it is worth checking the details for your travel year if you want to plan your stay around a festival.
