The region of Terra de Lemos is located on the slopes of the most renown and typical mountains in Galicia, O Courel, in one of the most spectacular settings in our geography, the “Ribeira Sacra”.

This area gives you the chance to enjoy nature in a different way, immersing you in a thrilling experience as you walk through its mythical sites, learn about its creatures and get to know its people, traditions, music, and gastronomy.

We suggest some singular activities to acquaint you with this lovely region:

• Participate in “Antroidos” (a Carnival-type festivity) and “Magostos” (chestnut harvest festivity) in this area.
• Carry out your own “matanza” (the slaughter of the pig – a typical event)
• Produce your own honey, wine and spirits
• Learn the techniques of ecological agriculture
• Learn about traditional hand-crafted pottery
• Pick mushrooms
• Learn our traditional regional music and dance.
• Visit the biggest group of Romanesque churches in Galicia

If you are looking for a new experience beyond conventional tourism, this is where to go!
