The value of a rural getaway isn't just measured by the relaxation, but also by everything you can do in the surrounding area. If connecting with nature, leisurely walks, and discovering historic corners is your thing, you'll find the perfect starting point at A Rectoral de Seadur , your charming rural accommodation in Ourense . If you haven't visited us yet, in this article, we'll tell you about some of the best outdoor activities you can enjoy just a few steps away.
Hiking trails for all levels
We're located in Larouco, in the heart of the Valdeorras region , surrounded by vineyards, mountains, and trails that invite you to wander peacefully. From the doorstep of our guesthouse, you can access several hiking trails, such as the Seadur - Pena Falcoeira Route (6.9 km) or the O Castrillón de Larouco Route (4.7 km), ideal for those looking for peaceful walks and spectacular scenery without straying too far.
Ruta dos Lagares: tradition and nature at every step
One of our favorites is the Ruta dos Lagares e Via Romana ( Roman Winery Route and Via Romana), which combines winemaking heritage and natural surroundings. Along its 13 kilometers, you'll discover three rock-cut wine presses used centuries ago for winemaking. The route also takes you along a section of the ancient Roman Via Nova , uniquely connecting history, culture, and landscape.
Winter Way: stage 26, very close to Seadur
Are you interested in the Camino de Santiago ? Well, there's more good news: from our accommodation in Ourense, you have direct access to stage 26 of the Camino de Invierno. This section, which starts in A Rúa and ends in Quiroga, crosses the Seadur area, following the course of the Sil River . It's a perfect route for both pilgrims and hikers who want to experience a less crowded, but equally special, part of this journey.
Discover the Valdeorras region and its charming villages
Beyond hiking, Valdeorras offers many other options . You can visit small towns like Castro Caldelas or Puebla de Trives, or head to Viana do Bolo, especially during the Entroido festival, when the town comes alive with one of Galicia's most authentic celebrations.
Wine tastings, astronomy and viewpoints
Do you like wine? From A Rectoral de Seadur, you can tour several local wineries, try Godellos and Mencías with Designation of Origin, and sign up for a tasting at our winery. And if you're drawn to the night sky, we recommend a visit to the Astro Trevinca astronomical observatory or the Rañadoiro Stargazing Viewpoint in A Veiga to enjoy a Starlight experience.
