In the majestic valley that the Arnoia River sculpts in its last stretch before flowing into the Miño, a natural and landscape treasure is hidden that deserves to be explored. Join us on this exciting drone flight as we tour the A Peneda and Arnoia hydroelectric plants, as well as the impressive waterfall hidden between them.     * A Peneda Hydroelectric Power Plant:     * Located at the confluence of the municipalities of Gomesende, Cartelle and Arnoia, this plant, managed by Gas Natural Fenosa Renovables, has an installed capacity of 10 MW. Its two vertical-axis Kaplan-type Voith turbines take advantage of the waterfall provided by the nearby waterfall.     * The ruins of the old power plant, which date back to the mid-20th century, lie abandoned and covered by weeds. Although their condition is deplorable, they still retain a mysterious charm that invites us to explore from the outside.     * Arnoia Hydroelectric Power Plant:     * Less than 1 km away from A Peneda, this plant also generates 10 MW. Its three Voith turbines, of the Francis type with vertical axis, take advantage of the power of the river. Like its companion, it was built in the 21st century. Upstream we can also find the old power plant building, now in a total state of abandonment.     * The new facilities, with concrete dams, diversion canals and pressure tunnels, contrast with the ancient ruins located nearby.     * Fervenza do Arnoia:     * Just a few meters from the power plants, the Arnoia River waterfall captivates us with its waterfall. The river makes its way through large forests, forming a deep canyon. The Arnoia Waterfall is a natural spectacle that deserves to be admired from all possible angles.Our drone will take us to fly over these wonders, capturing the majesty of the power plants, the beauty of the waterfall and the serenity of the valley. Get ready for an unforgettable visual journey! 🚁🌊🌿
