About the home

Catro Faros is an impressive luxury home with avant-garde lines designed by a famous local architect.

The Galicia region

Galicia’s coastline is fractured by its famous "rias": beautiful estuaries which penetrate the coast like gentle fjords, creating beaches that join up with those along the Atlantic shores. Pretty coves contrast with vertiginous cliffs, looking out over the wide sea.

The southern rias baixas, which start from the border with Portugal, are softer in line and the coastal waters are calmer compared with the northern rias altas, where the ocean crashes against the dark granite of the infamous Costa da Morte (Coast of Death), the doom of many a seafarer. For the Spain of sun and paella, look to Andalucia. These folk are made of sterner stuff.
The hinterland of the massively rugged coastline of over 1,400 km and 770 beaches is hilly and forested, run though with broad or rushing rivers. Its native green wildness is relieved by eucalyptus woods, meadows and vineyards whose wines complement to perfection the daily haul of seafood that Galician fishermen bring in to ports and fishing villages.
Unlike most other regions of Spain, there is no trace of an earlier Moorish presence. Instead, human habitation is marked by ancient petroglyphs carved into weather-beaten rocks, Celtic settlements, Roman bridges and medieval monasteries, convents and churches. Old stone crucifixes are a common feature of the landscape in a land where Christian tradition goes hand in hand with a folklore based on oaths and witches. Local fiestas can bear a remarkable resemblance to magic ceremonies.
Some people find in Galicia a resemblance to Ireland, or Scotland. The climate may be kinder, but it’s not sunny Andalucia and rain is not infrequent. What you get in return is a dramatic landscape and the satisfaction and interest of an old culture with depth and cohesion. A Celtic influence shows through in a liking for festivals, often based on food and drink, with music played on flute, drum and gaita, Galician bagpipes.
