At A Rectoral de Seadur, we have the privilege of being the gateway to landscapes where time seems to have stood still amidst vineyards and ancient stones. If you are a nature lover seeking that genuine connection that only Galicia can offer, in this article we want to share with you the three most emblematic hiking routes you can explore starting from our area in Larouco . Keep reading and take note!
1. Roman Wine Route of Larouco
This is undoubtedly our crown jewel. At 14.3 km long, this circular route is not only a workout for the body, but also a journey through the history of our region. You will walk along the same paths that the Romans laid out centuries ago to transport the treasures of these lands.
The landscape is dominated by terraced vineyards that seem to defy gravity, offering spectacular views of the Sil Valley. It's the perfect route to understand why our wine has soul.
2. Seadur - Pena Falcoeira Route
For those seeking a shorter but equally beautiful hike, we recommend this 6.9 km trail. It's a favorite among our guests due to its accessibility. As you climb towards Pena Falcoeira, the reward is a 360-degree panoramic view encompassing much of the region.
The silence up here is only broken by the wind, allowing you to completely disconnect from the everyday noise before returning to the warmth of our apartments.
3. Ruta dos Lagares e Vía Romana
This 13.46 km route combines Roman engineering with Galicia's rich ethnographic traditions. You'll see ancient wine presses carved into the stone where grapes were once pressed. The trail features shaded areas, native forests, and sections of the historic Via XVIII, also known as Via Nova.
It is ideal for hikers who enjoy discovering small archaeological treasures hidden among the vegetation.
