To cut a long story short, the Casa Gasamans is an ideal place to disconnect from the world, a compound of six country houses located some 15 minutes from Santiago de Compostela and also around 30 minutes from the wild Atlantic coast of Galicia. Indeed, this place is as typically Galician as you can get: stone walls, wooden beams, a super garden and, best of all for those of you wanting peace and quiet, a running stream of water the sound of which is hypnotic, to say the least. Life is simple and uncomplicated here, though by no means monotonous. The surrounding landscapes are gorgeous and even take in the vistas of the Tambre River. There are woods close by and provide the perfect place for a nature trek.

The Casa Gasamans also offers bikes and plenty of information on hiking, trekking, canoeing and climbing. You’ll notice that all these activities are nature based. Don’t expect ultra-sophistication, but do expect ultimate comfort in the lovely houses and the chance to recharge your batteries in an enigmatic region of Spain.
