The Area
The countryside surrounding
the House provides opportunities for walking and cycling so our
visitors can enjoy small valleys with green meadows, hundreds of
small rivers and woods with native species such as oaks, cork-trees
... You will be able to discover interesting wetlands such as the
Lake of Olives or to contemplate, from the view point of A Rocha,
the magnificent views of the Ulla Valley as it opens out to the
Ría of Arousa. Other interesting visits include the stately
homes in Oca and A Mota as well as several small romanic churches
which can all be reached by foot or on bicycles.

There is a wide variety of options if you want
to plan an outing by car. You can go to the amazing waterfalls
on the river Toxa near the Monastery of Carboeiro. The wild
countryside on the banks of the Ulla at San Xoán of Cova
(Gundián) is well worth a visit, as are the islands in
Ponteledesma and its romanic bridge. On clear days the summit
of the Pico Sacro makes an excepcional view point over the countryside
