Allariz Attractions

From Orense N 525 runs southeast, heading for Zamora. After crossing the railroad just outside Orense it winds its way up the valley of the Río Barbaña and through an upland region, with large tracts of forest, towards the mountains. 24km/15mi from Orense is Allariz (alt. 470m/1,542ft), capital of Galicia during the Reconquista, which still preserves a 1km/0.75mi long circuit of walls.
