  • Coordinates:41.982100, -8.776378
Complex of eight mills located on the lower stretch of the Bravos River, in the parish of Santa María de Tomiño. Some of these have been restored, while others only preserve their exterior walls. They feature a rectangular plan and are built from rubblework with irregular ashlar stones, more carefully worked around the corners and the doorways. They have either gabled or single-pitched roofs, and a single inferno. Some still preserve the loading bench by the door, along with the millstone, the stone base, or the waterwheels. Following the Bravos stream, the mills are identified by the following names: ZAREQUE, BLANCO, PASCUAL, BRAVOS, MEDIO, PASAXE, FIGUEIRÓ and ODATOL.
