TYPICAL STONE COTTAGE of the Ribeira Sacra area of Spain, restored by craftspeople with respect for traditional features, the environment and natural materials. CRAFT - We have sought out hand-embroidered sheets, local earthenware pottery, traditional Spanish willow furniture and carnival folk art for the cottage interior. We have added baskets and textiles made by us to give the cottage a unique craft touch. As local craftspeople ourselves we are happy to advise you about where to see and buy local craft and show you our own basketry and weaving workshops. INFORMATION - You will find books, maps, and information written by us in English with suggestions for days out, where to eat out etc.. BINOCULARS, WALKING ROUTES AND NATURE BOOKS - The area offers good walking with stunning views and plenty of wild flowers, butterflies, insects and birds. We provide you with everything you need to enjoy it with walking routes starting from the cottage which have been tried and tested by us. PEACE AND QUIET - The cottage is situated at the end of the village, off the road, so no traffic noise... except the horns of the mobile bakers´, fishmonger´s and grocers vans! Park outside the cottage at the beginning and end of your stay to unload and load your luggage and then leave your car in the nearby village plaza. The cottage is TV free and we offer you a range of books to read during your stay including classic and contemporary fiction. ECO-OPTION - ACCESSIBLE BY TRAIN AND BUS - International train routes to from the UK / France to Ourense city. From there buses run from Ourense to Cristosende on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays once a day and to Castro Caldelas daily (20 mins by taxi from the cottage). With walking routes and places of interest accessible by foot it is possible to spend a happy week without the hassle of driving!
