A separate basin to the Miño, draining from the Xinzo de Limia plain south into Portugal where it becomes the Lima. The Galician section is wild brown trout water through the Baixa Limia and into the Peneda-Gerês transfrontier protected area. Two gauging points — Xinzo for the headwater plain and Ponteliñares for the gorge — frame the fishable Galician reach. Best fished in May and June in the middle gorge sections.
