RIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY
Situated in the municipality of Touro, right in the centre of the county
of Arzua, this house is a faithful reminder of the ancient houses
belonging to the noble Galician families. The architectural complex of
which it is made up is completely surrounded by a centuries old oak wood
that gives credit to its aristocratic air. The corn granary and the
dovecote give us a glimpse of the ancient workings of the house, in an
area that has for centuries lived dependant on agriculture, farming, and
cheese making using the mark of origin Arzua- Ulloa.
A HOUSE AMONG THE OAK TREES
Pazo de Andeade was constructed at the beginning of the XVIII Century, and
restored in 1995 with original high quality materials. Beside the respect
paid to the original features of the main building the complex conserves
all the elementary characteristics of Galician Architecture. The corn
granary, the dovecote and the chapel- that boasts an altarpiece crafted by
the Compostelan master woodcarvers from the age that the house was
constructed- are proof of that.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Just being in the grounds of Pazo de Andeade are reasons enough to spend
the whole day exploring and getting to know the place; enjoy its well kept
lounges or reading in the library; listen to the murmur of the water in
the fountain; or stroll through the oak wood that keeps the secrets of
those who built the house. Its proximity to Santiago de Compostela, the
Portodemouros reservoir or the pilgrims way to Santiago, all this invites
you to enjoy its natural, cultural, and architectonic wonders. The visitor

the area, visiting some of the numerous farms and dairies in the region.
