A STONE’S THROW FROM BETANZOS
The Rectoral de Cines is located in the municipality of Oza dos Ríos, in a valley formed by the Mendo and Mero Rivers. At a distance of less than 8 km., without forsaking the peace and quiet surrounding the House, is the historic-artistic ensemble of the town of Betanzos. A stroll through the impeccably preserved, quaint old town is a must, as is its famous park, Parque del Pasatiempo. Not far from this privileged spot are the beaches of Miño, Perbes and Pontedeume.

THE OLD CONVENT
The Rectoral de Cines was a medieval convent with a small hermitage, founded in the year 911. Centuries later in the 11th-12th C. a Gothic church in honour of St. Nicholas was built on the site. The Rectory and the Church make up an architectural ensemble of enormous historic and artistic value which has been restored to offer a warm and friendly atmosphere. The original masonry, wooden beams and roof have been preserved and combined with modern, comfortable furniture.
 

WHAT YOU CAN DO
On a slope of the rolling green hills in a peaceful valley stands the magnificent structure of the Rectoral de Cines. Without leaving the House, the guest can enjoy delicious meals made with fresh products according to traditional recipes. Outside, the placid countryside and sparkling rivers make it an ideal spot for hiking, biking, horseback riding or a spin in a quad.

Anyone who is interested in culture and discovering the charm of the hidden corners of the villages will find Romanesque and Gothic churches galore. A tour of these treasures will take you back to the history of these lands.
