Find out more about Devesa da Lúa Oak Grove

An open natural area where a large number of oak trees are found on the banks of the river that crosses it. It is known as “A Devesa da Lúa” because it is shaped like a crescent. It is a nice path for a walk; with walkways, wooden bridges and river mills that make this place a charming place to escape.

In the surroundings of the oak grove, you can see the fort of Berdeogas (unexcavated), the Church of Santiago de Berdeogas, a dovecote and a granary. The granaries had the function of granary, as storage for the harvest. In this case, due to the fact that it is so close to the church and the rectory, in addition to having a very good stone in its construction, it must have belonged to the clergy or to the wealthiest families of the parish. This one in particular is a unique granary both for its size and for its morphology. It is the longest in the municipality of Dumbría and is irregular. It does not have even feet, but has 15 in the north and 16 in the south.

The Family Festival is celebrated here, on the Sunday of the last fortnight of July, where the families of the region meet to enjoy a day together in the countryside. There is mass, traditional music and dance, empanada, churrasco and wine. It is a festival promoted by the City Council.
