    Description

    Majestic and elegant are the mountains of eastern Galicia. In them, pure forms of life survive, typical of times past and traditions rooted in the land. The beauty of the environment and the rich ethnographic and gastronomic heritage, make this place a destination to discover. Do you want to feel how time stops? Here the “slow” life is something natural.

    Located to the East of Galicia, the Courel and Ancares mountains are a natural limit with the neighboring communities of Asturias and León.
    The mountainous complex is made up of Atlantic forests and green meadows among which small villages and scattered towns appear.
    The past isolation of the area and the harsh winter have favored the survival of customs of great ethnographic value and traditional constructions that have survived until today, such as the “pallozas”, rustic constructions that are characterized by their vegetal roof and that were used as housing and for livestock.
    In this area, you can visit several ethnographic sites of interest, such as Froxán, Piornedo or the village of O Cebreiro, a passage for pilgrims who follow the French Way.
    The visitor has the opportunity to enjoy the landscape, its fauna and its vegetation, while discovering a surprising heritage, among which the imposing monastery of San Julián de Samos, the churches of San Pedro Fiz de Hospital ( the only example in marble from Galicia) or the beautiful church of Santa María la Real de O cebreiro. Forts, towers, bridges, pre-industrial buildings, small villas and its tasty gastronomy complete the beautiful heritage of Os Ancares-Courel.
