Don Quixote, Chapter XIII

The Maragatería, where our house is located, is a region of exceptional beauty. In addition, the proximity of the Teleno sierra and the river Duerna make it very easy to enjoy being here.

To start out we would recommend a trip around the villages in the area. Most conserve a rich heritage of architecture from the period of the muleteers: Quintanilla de Somoza, Santiago Millas and Castrillo de los Polvazares are good examples of this. En route, a visit to the local craftsmen is worthwhile: woodworking (flutes, castanets as well as furniture), blacksmiths' forges (knives), wool-weaving (blankets, jerseys).

Also have a look at some routes on foot or by car which we suggest on this page.

We also have Quads (four-wheeled motorbikes) for hire by prior arrangement and near here, in Santiago Millas, there are horses for hire.
