St. Anthony of Toques
Toques council has one of the first Romanesque churches in Galicia: St. Antolín of Toques. In its interior, we can see a sculptural ensemble in polychrome wood dated from the 13th century. It is called Calvary of Toques, the oldest one in Galicia.
Portodemouros reservoir, Santiso
Santiso is characterized not only by its country houses and Romanesque churches, but also for its water. Its orography is drawn by Portodemouros Reservoir. It must be pointed out the ferry that provides a service there and that takes cars and people from one shore of the river to the other, balonging to Santiso and Vila de Cruces councils, and for free.
