Souto de Rozavales [forested area] in Manzaneda

Among the chestnut trees in the Rozavales area, the standout is the Pumbariños chestnut, with a perimeter reaching 12.15 meters. It's a grafted specimen, much like the majority of its venerable companions. This is a natural space with an artificial origin, historically exploited in harmony with nature. Pumbariños continues to bear fruit from fall to fall, reminiscent of a time when chestnuts were vital for sustenance before the introduction of potatoes from the New World. The chestnut grove is a highly valuable ecosystem, not just for human use of wood and chestnuts. At the base of the trunk, benches have been placed for observing it like a work of art and accompanying its rhythm through the seasons. With patience and discretion, one can observe the abundance of wild birds that depend on this chestnut grove."
