A green lung in the heart of Galicia
Located within the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve, the municipality is particularly notable for its splendid biodiversity. With two beautiful river areas in Begonte and Baamonde, the Ladra River serves as a hub for outdoor activities, offering swimming spots in summer, picnic areas, hiking trails, and spaces for neighbourhood leisure and festive gatherings.
In Begonte you have the privilege of living in the middle of nature and enjoying it every day.

Breathe culture.
Come live in Begonte and be part of a community full of history, traditions and, ancestral legends.
The lands that make up Begonte hold treasures of the ancient cultures of our ancestors, most of them still unexplored. Megalithic complexes and sacred forests, Celtic forts, remains of the Roman occupation, buildings and churches of medieval origin, crosses and mills.
Begonte, also a land of artisans and artists, breathes past and present culture and works tirelessly to ensure that tradition and contemporaneity coexist and positively shape the place where we live.
We love celebrations!
Feel the joy of joining your neighbors
to celebrate special moments together
In Begonte we like to
maintain
our traditions.
We celebrate our traditional religious festivals in each village, we gather to honor our elders, and bring young people together at the Youth Festival. We celebrate summer by the river with the Empanada Festival, and we stay at the forefront of new trends in Galician music with our 27373 Festival.
We even have one of the most important and well-known pilgrimage sites in Galicia, the Virxe dos Miragres de Saavedra.
In Begonte do Belén
Since 1972, the Begonte Nativity Scene has been part of our essence. During Christmas, Begonte transforms and welcomes thousands of visitors eager to enjoy our beautiful electronic nativity scene. Around this event, various activities take place, such as poetry, painting, journalism, and children’s drawing awards. The festive atmosphere is further enhanced by the traditional Christmas Market, which attracts the largest number of exhibitors and visitors each year. If you live for Christmas, this is your place!
