La Torreira is located in Campo
Lameiro (Sp), 15 Km. far from Pontevedra (Sp), the
capital town with the mildest climate of Galicia. Facing South, in
the area of the
Galician "petroglifos" (prehistoric rock carvings), on the lower slope of the
Acibal hill; in a natural environment, with wild horses and 4 Km. far from the Lerez
river. A heavenly environment where to enjoy nature genuinely, but with all our present
day facilities.
Galicia: The Flavour of Tradition.
Not far from La Torreira, to the south, is Mullerboa,
rural centre which still maintains the traditional Galician culture. Traditional plot of
land: corn, potato, vineyards, orchard, highly productive cows due to the privileged
climate of the area.Private
cellars with exquisite white wine; registered milk and the vegetables which have made
Galician stew famous world-wide.At one Km. far from the property to the north, La Torreira
has a chapel in the Romanic Church of Santa Mariña and the Virgen Del Carmen. In it, the
well known Patron Saint’s festivities and the popular pilgrimage of Fragas take place.
La Torreira is a 37.522 m2 manorial property with a totally restored
stone-faced house; a characteristic Galician Horrio (for corn storage) made of stone, wood
and roof-tiles, located a few meters away from the house; in the old main entrance, a
Cross of stone (Cruceiro) with Latin inscriptions; a private paved road and its own spring
of drinkable water (approximately 1litre per second). Video mina

The property is fenced by a stone
wall and has paths in all its perimeter. The house is located in the middle of the
property, protected by a forest of eucalyptus in its upper side and by a lawn in the rest.
The private paved road, which crosses the forest of eucalyptus, leads directly to the
house, and it surrounds plum-trees, lemon-trees, orange-trees, chestnut-trees, and even
walnut-trees, cherry-trees and an ancient olive-tree. Video frutales.
- La Torreira has even another forest of eucalyptus, called Cachada de Caneda, enclosed by a stone wall two Km. far to the north and which can also be approached by road.
Enxebere: All Galicia in La Torreira.
Characteristic and original.
The property enjoys the wonderful panoramic views of the valley of the Lerez river, a river which has much water and ends in Pontevedra’s estuary, and where swimming and fishing can be practised. There are nearby sites with barbecues and picnic tables by the river, those arranged by the Town-hall of Campo Lameiro (10 minutes).
It has cool
cellars in its ground floor, luminous bedrooms in the first floor, a typical Galician
kitchen with "Lareira" (‘fireplace’), and a stone furnace, and a
wooden upper floor. It also has a large annexed shed of two floors, with parking for
several cars in its ground floor. In front of it there is an ancient watering-trough,
where the sound of the water falling from the stone pipe can be heard. The water comes
from a tank, located in the upper part, which supplies the house with water. This water is
completely channelled from the spring called "Fonte dos Corbos",
which belongs to the state, and it is of a very highly praised quality. A family can
consume its water without fear of shortage, and it can also be used for the complete
watering of the state.
The thick stone walls of the house enable the very best arrangement of the
housing both in summer and winter. The windows made of wood and glass, typical of Galicia,
have window-shutters with traditional lockings.
A
stone staircase, sheltered by a traditional iron gate, leads us to the house ending in a
covered lobby, with two doors of solid wood to access independently to each part of
the house. In this way the area of the bedrooms is separated from the kitchen and the
living room. In the front part, the anagram of Christ and the Virgin can be seen in the
North facade, fact that reminds us of the monastic origins of the house.- Telephone, television, running water, electricity, household appliances: all modern conveniences.
