What is "castroverde"

Castroverde is a municipality in Lugo province, Spain. Castroverde is located in the mid-northeast of the autonomous community of Galicia.

Castroverde is very rural area. The main economic activity is milk and meat production. There are also a few rabbit and poultry farms. Rural tourism has some importance with a few rural hotels. Because farming is increasingly automated, Castroverde's population shrank during the 20th century, and prospects say that this process will continue until the present century.

Administrative subdivisions are called parishes; it has its origin in church organization. These 37 parishes are very rich in archeological vestiges, beautiful churches and chapels, waterwheels and pazos (beautiful houses of little nobility). Remains of an important Castle are also present in Castroverde.
