The River Mino (Minho) in the south is also the border with Portugal. There is a Parador by the river in the old cathedral city of Tui (Tuy). Further into the mountains near Ourense is the old monastery of Santo Estevo, overlooking a tributary of the river, which has been recently converted into a hotel by the Parador Group.

Gallego, the old language of the region, is still used and this results in many places having alternative names and spellings.
