The village that resists in the mountains of Galicia: a treasure with cobblestone houses and enviable nature

One of Galicia's greatest charms is its beautiful and magical small towns scattered throughout the autonomous community, whether on its rugged and wild coasts or in the impressive interior. Precisely in one of Spain's most extraordinary regions, the Ribeira Sacra, lies a true treasure hidden among the mountains and a haven of peace: the peaceful village of A Seara.

This town of barely twenty inhabitants belongs to the municipality of Quiroga. In addition to its beautiful street layout, the town boasts some invaluable architectural treasures . What most draws attention to this Galician village is the stunning natural surroundings, making it one of the most extraordinary spots in all of Galicia.

A Seara, a rural paradise in the province of Ourense

The tiny town center of Seara is made up of houses that follow the typical mountain architecture found in the area. This Lugo village is a true rural paradise where tranquility reigns in every corner, although that doesn't prevent it from also having authentic gems worth visiting. The main building in the village is the Church of Santa María Magdalena, located next to the road that leads into the town.

Located at over 1,000 meters above sea level, this small village boasts a multitude of cobblestone houses with slate roofs, accentuating the town's rural feel. However, A Seara's main attraction lies not in the town itself, but in the surrounding countryside. The breathtaking nature surrounding the village makes it a magical destination for trekking enthusiasts, as several hiking trails depart from the parish itself.

These routes pass through absolutely stunning locations and end at equally breathtaking places, such as the Fervenza de Vieiros, a 25-meter-high waterfall that takes on a special splendor during spring thanks to its abundant flow. Therefore, a getaway to this town is undoubtedly a magnificent option for anyone looking to escape the big city for a weekend.
