We are not exaggerating when we say that you are fortunate to be our guest. You are staying in one of Galicia’s most charming villages, San Xoán de Furelos, whose existence is documented as early as the 12th century. Moreover, it is located right on the crossroads of the French and Original Ways of St. James.
The medieval village where we are located stands out due to its stone-paved streets, stone houses and the continuous stream of pilgrims, which take you back to the past. The Furelos Bridge, mentioned in 12th-century documents kept in the Monastery of Sobrado dos Monxes, is perhaps the most representative along the Galician section of the Jacobean route.
The Furelos reacreational area, on the other side of the main road, is one of Galicia’s best riverside leisure spots. On the banks of the Furelos River you will find a river beach, swimming pools, picnic area and children’s playground. If you like outdoor activities, a trekking route starts here and ends in the municipal capital of Melide.
Take note of other places not to be missed in the municipal district of Melide:
