dealchecker's guide to Vilalba


Vilalba , capital of the Terra Cha', is also the capital of the township with the same name and it has as its limits, to the north, the councils of Xermade, Muras and Abadín; to the west, Xermade and Guitiriz; and to the south, Cospeito, Guitiriz and Begonte. This town was born beside the castle that belonged to the house of Andrade, today Parador Nacional, and nowadays an important head in the farming region, with trading and services functions, among which we must point up the ones related to the tourism, because due to its geographical position, it is a compulsory visit for those who go to Galicia and to the north of Portugal, and it is placed on both sides of the roads from Santander-A Coruña and Madrid-Ferrol. As the name of the region indicates, the topography of this council is characterized by its flatness, except in the areas of the mountain range of the Carba and in Pena do Mirador. The hydrographic system is organized around the bank of the river Miño and in a narrow band of the north flows into the Eume. The mountain range of A Carba is the water divisor line between both banks and several streams are born there, which flow in the Támoga or Santaballa and in the rivers Trimaz and Magdalena, which drain most part of the township.
