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.
