 River
Xallas, fishing paradise
The
land of Mazaricos take its name from a medium sized distrustful
bird, characterized by a grizzly brown body and a long curved beak.
Mazarico,
pico, pico,
quen
che deu tan longo pico?
Deumo
Deus e os meus pecadinos,
pra
repinicar nos carballinos.
Mazarico,
beak, beak,
who
gave you such a long beak?
God
and my sins gave it to me,
to
peck in the oak tree.
Mazaricos' land has a small population. Among
the small and dispersed villages, the most important ones are A
Picota, Pino de Val and Asenso. These relaxing
landscapes are ideal for hunting and fishing. Mazaricos'
clean water rivers are abundant in trouts, especially in
Argos, Beba, and in Xallas rivers, which comes from Santa
Comba descending to the lands of Dumbria.
The reservoirs of Santa Uxia, Olveiroa and Fervanza allow the practice
of nautical sports.
