This category of village municipality, known for its excellent tourism and the strong momentum that is experiencing the industrial and business sector.

The local cuisine, including meat products, most notably ham, is central in many important events, such as the long-standing pilgrimages to A Franqueira, as declared by the Autonomous Community of Galicia Tourist Interest Party, or the known Ham Fair, being examples.

This mid-mountain location and interior provides the opportunity to see a marked diversity caused by the uneven landscape of mountains and valleys and to know its artistic heritage, the customs of the people and enjoy the many popular events that take place throughout the year. The tourist offer is complete with services designed to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants and, at the same time, to meet the needs and demands of travelers who daily visit to Caniza.
