Main tourist attractions of Valdeorras
One of Valdeorras' main tourist attractions is its rich winemaking heritage. Here, for example, we find the Valdeorras Designation of Origin, which is famous for its wines, especially Godello and Mencía, two true icons of this region of Galicia. If you stay at our rural guesthouse, visiting one of the local wineries and participating in a wine tasting is a must, especially for lovers of good wine.

The Serra da Enciña da Lastra Natural Park is another highlight you can't miss if you're visiting the Valdeorras region. This park is a paradise for hiking and nature lovers , with trails that offer stunning panoramic views and native flora and fauna.
On the other hand, at A Rectoral de Seadur, we can't fail to mention the Valdeorras caves, known as "covas," in this article. These caves have historically been used for wine production and storage. Today, some are open to the public, and those chosen to be shown inside allow visitors to learn more about the region's winemaking tradition.

Valdeorras's historical heritage is also remarkable. Places like O Bolo Castle and Xagoaza Monastery are two fine examples of our region's rich history. Both monuments offer a fascinating insight into the medieval and religious past of the region where our rural guesthouse is located.
To complete your visit, we recommend making the most of everything the Sil River area has to offer, offering opportunities to enjoy water activities such as canoeing or simply relaxing on its banks. The banks of the Sil are perfect for a leisurely stroll, surrounded by spectacular natural scenery.
