Guided catamaran trip through the Sil canyons from the A Abeleda pier, between Castro Caldelas and Monforte: 1 h 30, departures at 11:00 and 16:00, tickets from €13.

A catamaran company based at the A Abeleda pier, on the Ourense bank of the Sil, opposite Doade. It runs a circular trip of about 12 km on the Santo Estevo reservoir, with a guide who explains the landscape, the history of the monasteries and terraced viticulture as you go.

## How it works

You book beforehand on its website. You must arrive at the pier 30 minutes before boarding; the boat leaves on time and does not wait. Parking is free, in a line along the road, and there are more spaces on the other side of the river, next to the Doade pier.

## Departures

The main departure is at 11:00 and the afternoon one at 16:00. In July, August and September, at Easter and over the Pilar long weekend there may also be departures at 13:00 and 18:00. In low season it sails mainly at weekends and on public holidays, and there is no service at Christmas.
