Castromao: how to visit it
Castromao is one of the most important Iron Age hillfort sites in the area and lies only a few minutes from central Celanova. The visit combines archaeology, landscape and wide views across the Arnoia valley.
Why it is worth it
- The settlement was occupied for centuries before the Roman period.
- The upper part offers excellent views over the Celanova countryside.
- It is a short visit that combines easily with the old town and Vilanova dos Infantes.
How to fit it into your stay
From Casa Millo you can explore central Celanova first and then drive up to Castromao.
Planning the visit
These outings work best as part of a wider stay rather than as a race between sights. The advantage of sleeping in Celanova is that you can leave after breakfast, enjoy the visit at an easy pace and return to town for lunch, a break or dinner. It keeps the day from becoming a sequence of driving and parking.
One of the pleasures of inland Galicia is how close landscape, heritage and everyday life sit together. Within a short drive you can move from a monastery to an Iron Age hillfort, from a medieval village to a river walk or from a relaxed meal to a short hike.
