You mean, why did we choose to be surrounded with green valleys, rugged mountains, dramatic cliffs, stunning coastlines and white sandy beaches? Basically, our founder Agustín was worried about the alarming numbers of abandoned Spanish villages and he wanted to do something about it. He fell in love with Anceu and this restored farmhouse and the rest is history. Come see it for yourself!
-
Yes. We have plenty of free parking space on property.

This area is known as “Green Spain”, meaning be prepared for unpredictable, wild, wet and windy days. Consider the kind of activities you’ll be doing on your trip and pack according to the time of the year and keep it casual. Pack something to keep you dry. A raincoat is a wise choice, so is layering your clothes. In the summer, when the sky’s blue and the sun’s out, you’re going to want to swim or soak up the sun, so bring your swimsuits, sunglasses, sunscreen lotions and hats. Our natural surroundings are breathtakingly picturesque. You might be inspired to walk around. Comfortable boots or walking shoes will come in handy here. Always check the weather forecast before your trip.
-
Most definitely! Keep in mind we’re in a super remote location here, so you can’t get any more local than this. Step out of the comfort zone of the community and the friendly locals await! Feel free to practice your Spanish with them or better yet, learn some Galego (Galician language)!
-
