Step outside and you’re immersed in some of Galicia’s most enchanting landscapes. We’re on the doorstep of the ancient Atlantic forest of Fragas do Eume, a protected natural park known for its dense woodlands of sweet chestnut, roble oak, and silver birch. The forest floor bursts into life with magical ferns, wild narcissus, primroses, and a dazzling variety of seasonal wildflowers.
There are multiple walking and biking routes that wind through these ancient trees, offering both peaceful strolls and more adventurous trails.
Our home looks out over heather and gorse (toxo) moorlands, where wildlife is part of the daily rhythm. Wild boar, roe deer, foxes, badgers, and the elusive gineta (Iberian wildcat) all roam these hills. You might spot birds of prey circling above, or catch glimpses of adders, praying mantises, and curious crickets among the undergrowth. In autumn, the woods come alive with fungi in all shapes and sizes.
Whether you’re here to hike, observe wildlife, or simply soak in the quiet, this landscape offers a deep connection to nature in every season.
