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 CARRIAGE MUSEUM
Pazo do Castro takes its name from the village in which it is situated and
which was the most important town in medieval Valdeorras. Don Pedro de
Losada y Quiroga ordered the house and its chapel to be built in the year
1630. More than three centuries later, the house, now declared a building
of artistic historical interest, has been restored for tourism with all
the comforts of a luxury hotel.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Without leaving Pazo de Castro, one can enjoy different informative
activities because the library is ideal for a quiet read; the coaching
museum contains carriages that date back to the 17 C. The harnesses and
antique coaching gear and other mementoes invite the guest to take a walk
back in time. The covered pool allows the visitor to take a dip at any
time or season. The garden boasts historic box hedges and the large
stretch of meadowland adjacent to the house is great for walking or
cycling trips. You can even explore the surrounding countryside by quad
cars or go canoeing on the River Sil. Take a trip on a Catamaran or try
potholing or paragliding.
