RIGHT NEXT TO THE SANTIAGO PILGRIMS WAY
Casa Grande de Cornide is situated 10 minutes by car from Santiago de Compostela, the final destination on the Pilgrims’ way. Besides this we find ourselves very near to one of the main roads on this pan European route: the Portuguese Way. Somehow, Casa Grande de Cornide the manor house becomes the epicentre of a tour that allows the traveller to begin to understand the mysteries of this thousand year old Pilgrimage.

TRADITION AND ULTRAMODERNISM
With more than 200 years of history, Casa Grande de Cornide is a living example of the most traditional Galician architecture, alongside interesting ultramodern elements. Its ample collection of Galician painting could easily qualify it as a small Art gallery museum. The house boasts an 8.000m2 garden that encloses such emblematic trees as a leafy Magnolia that has been part of the manor house since it was built.
 

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Leisure time and rest are at a premium state of the art level in this house. Its magnificent collection of works by XX Century Galician painters; its library, with a variety of 3.000 volumes; its bodega situated in an old dovecote, and its huge garden, are more than enough reasons for never leaving the manor house. Nevertheless, the appealing features that surround Casa Grande de Cornide invite you to investigate some of the cycle or walking routes, or even to attempt one of the stages of the Jacobean Portuguese pilgrimage way to Santiago de Compostela. Also recommendable is a stroll through the cobbled streets of Santiago, or a visit to the homes which are now museums of the famous Galician writers Rosalia de Castro and Camilo Jose Cela.
