Torneiros is one of the small rural settlements scattered across the slopes of the Río Caldo valley, in the municipality of Lobios. Its location offers an insight into one of the most distinctive features of the Xurés: a landscape where villages, ancient paths, farmland and mountains all form part of the same setting. Torneiros is also located close to several routes that run along the slopes of Santa Eufemia, connecting this area with Bubaces, Padrendo and the thermal springs of Río Caldo.
From the viewpoint, Torneiros helps us understand how local communities gradually settled in the most favourable areas of the landscape, shaping over the centuries a cultural landscape closely linked to the mountains. It is an invitation to discover the everyday Xurés: its villages, where a close connection with the surrounding land and landscape is still very much alive.
