Bubaces is part of the parish of Santa María de Río Caldo and lies in one of the areas of Lobios with the greatest concentration of natural, thermal and cultural attractions. Its proximity to Os Baños, the Santa Eufemia routes and the historic Vía Nova corridor makes this small village an excellent place from which to explore and understand the surrounding area. Several routes start or pass through here, leading towards Padrendo, Torneiros and the higher reaches of the mountains.
Nearby landmarks include the chapel of Santa Catarina and a distinctive dovecote, both examples of the rural heritage that forms part of this mountain landscape. Bubaces embodies the inhabited Xurés, where traditional architecture, historic routes and nature coexist within a remarkably compact area. From the viewpoint, visitors can appreciate how the village blends into the valley floor, surrounded by the sweeping slopes of the mountains.
