Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Explore Antas De Ulla through its cultural heritage and varied landscapes. For your trip planning, archaeological and architectural heritage sits alongside routes through pastures and woodlands. If you are looking for a hotel, you can tailor your stay to your interests: local history, the historic bathing tradition, or trails and rivers. The examples below offer specific themes, without requiring you to fit them all into a single outing.

Cultural Heritage and Local History

Agro da Mámoa, also known as Mámoa de Árbol, is listed as archaeological heritage in Funsín, in the parish of Árbol. The parish festivities of Árbol are celebrated in honour of Santa Eulalia and Santa Cruz. If you would like to include this tradition in your trip plans, check the exact dates of the festivities before booking. There is also a cruceiro in Randulfe, in the parish of Santalla de Árbol within the municipality of Antas de Ulla, with historical, ethnographic and heritage-conservation significance. For a stay focused on cultural history, this brings together an archaeological site, a festive tradition and a monument.

Routes with Different Themes

The route to the San Fiz petroglyphs passes through pastures, oak groves and birch stands alongside a stream. The same route also features a two-bay hórreo resting on stone supports. This brings together an archaeological theme, a streamside landscape and an architectural detail. The route to Monte Farelo offers a different perspective: it passes a small viewpoint near a geodetic survey marker. When choosing between them, you can weigh up the features described: the stream, pastures and woodlands at San Fiz, or the viewpoint on the route to Monte Farelo.

Frádegas and the Parish of Árbol

In the wider area around Árbol, the former Balneario de Frádegas is located in the village of Frádegas, in the parish of Santa Mariña de Amarante. Its sulphur-rich springs are associated with recognised therapeutic value. As a former spa, it adds a historical perspective on bathing to the cultural and landscape themes. The route to the Balneario de Frádegas reaches Randulfe. Randulfe and Funsín are the two villages in the parish of Árbol; the parish lies in the north of the municipality and has a population of 40. This brings different local-history themes together: the historic spa and the villages of the parish of Árbol.
