We begin our route by visiting the dolmen of A Casiña da Moura, which is located in the municipality of Muíños, Parish of Maus de Salas, it is part of what was once a burial of megalithic origin, with an antiquity that takes us back to the years 3,000 and 2,500 BC. Its current location is not the original, since it was moved here because it was going to be flooded by the construction of the Salas reservoir. Crossing the reservoir dam, we can see another example of a megalithic monument in the form of a dolmen, A Casola do Foxo, and next to it, the remains of a wolf pit. Our next destination will be the Roman camp Aquis Querquennis, although we have already been there several times, this was different, since it was almost completely submerged under the waters of the As Conchas reservoir, with its dam being our penultimate destination, this was Built in 1949, with a height of 48m, 70m in length and with a capacity of 80Hm3, its waters flooded part of the history of the area, the O Poldrado bridge, the legendary Pedriña bridge that maintained a great Roman personality, the Roman camp Aquis Querquennis is on the edge as are the Roman baths, visible when the water level drops. We end the day 1 km downstream from the dam, enjoying the spectacular Límia River canyon and the Grou Waterfall, about 10m high, which is called Fecha dos Infernos de Baixo.
