Guntumil is a small village in the municipality of Muíños, belonging to the parish of Santiago de Requiás and closely linked to the landscape of the Salas Valley. Its surroundings combine hills, meadows and ancient paths with a rich heritage that reflects the long-standing human presence in these lands.
Guntumil also preserves notable elements of its religious and ethnographic heritage, such as the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Castro, a 17th-century Baroque church located on Monte do Castro, and the Cruceiro de Ánimas. Together, these features make the village an excellent example of the close relationship between landscape, heritage, tradition and ways of life that characterises this part of the Xurés.
