Description
FORMER COUNTRY HOUSE FACING THE AROUSA ESTUARY
The former Pazo de Bazán country house, an ancestral mansion on which construction begain in the 17th c., is located in the green landscape of the Rías Baixas, specifically in the Ría de Arousa. Luxuriant pine groves, beaches, coves and numerous country houses run along the Galician coast.
The Parador is located in the centre of the small town of Cambados, a short distance from the Isla de la Toxa, and has an attractive inner courtyard in which the arcades, the fountain and a slender palm tree stand out. It also has pleasant, bright bedrooms with comfortable furniture, along with stone columns, wooden ceilings and beams in the rest of the common rooms, not forgetting the garden and a tempting swimming pool. The restaurant offers local products such as `empanada de berberechos` (cockle pie), `lenguado al Albariño` (sole prepared in Albariño wine) and shellfish.
This is also an ideal spot for wine tourism. The culture of wine is a constant presence on the streets of Cambados. Along with the best local products, like fish, seafood and padrón peppers, it makes the cuisine of this area a true delight for your senses.
Cambados is the perfect size to tour on foot since distances are small. The beauty of the place will bring you to a halt in every step: it has one of the most spectacular showcases for mansions and stately homes in Galicia. Fefiñáns Square has a spectacular charm.
It is formed by the mansion of the same name with an arch-bridge, a keep watchtower and San Bieito Church, all beautiful granite structures that make the square one of the most unique architectural complexes in Galicia. Other mansions include Montesacro, the palace of the counts of Maceda, Casa das Cunchas, Pazo Ulloa and Pazo de Figueroa, making Cambados very worthy of the title Muy Noble Villa (Most Noble Town).
