BETWEEN THE SIL AND THE CABE GORGES
As it is situated in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra (the well known monastery laden banks of the river Sil), one is not only privileged to be able to enjoy the magnificent local wildlife of the Sil and Cabe Gorges but also to discover the numerous monasteries and churches that make up one of most important formations of its kind in western Europe. The region is also one of the most historical wine producing areas in this part of Spain.

THE RECTORY BUILT FAR AWAY FROM THE CHURCH
Rectoral de Anllo is a XVIII Century construction, which owing to its fine features owes more to rural Italian Renaissance than the Galician architecture of the period. It is situated quite a distance away from the church and so this suggests that it wasn't constructed so much as a rectory but as a donation by the nobles of the day. It has been beautifully restored and at the moment contains paintings by Castinandi, who was a Galician painter of the time.
