Some Hiking Routes

Just 7 km away there is a stop on the Primitive Way, giving the possibility of doing a stage of the road and immersing yourself a bit in this route of both historical and spiritual value. We take care of the transfer back home.

From the house we can walk to the San Paio de Narla fortress-museum, which is 2 km away. For this we will indicate how to go since there is no signage. It crosses between hills, forests and easily accessible trails. At the end it is worth a visit to the free museum.

It is a small and beautiful route close to the city of Lugo, only about 3.5 km long, very suitable to do with children and the family, in which we can enjoy the beautiful fluvial environment that the Mera river treasures, with beautiful forests and some ethnographic elements.

A simple river path that borders the Escádebas river where we can see up to five water mills, several wooden bridges, a natural pool and a small waterfall

It is a simple route, where we can enjoy a huge waterfall, a fairly well-preserved water mill, great views of the Sierra del Careón and a beautiful native forest largely accompanied by the Furelos river.

For ornithology lovers, a walk through the Cospeito Lagoon, possibly the best-adapted wetland for visitors in Galicia, is an unforgettable experience!
