Holiday apartment in Castrelo: Dolmen Route, Castro and Festivals

Castrelo combines local history, signposted routes and festivals held on specific dates to create a destination offering different cultural experiences. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Castrelo, you can choose between individual historical points of interest, a circular route and events throughout the year. Planning therefore begins with the question of what kind of discovery you would like to include in your stay.

Castro and Church in Castrelo

The Castro de Lavandeira is located on Monte do Sino in Castrelo, at an altitude of 300 metres. The ancient castro is still known by the local name Igrexa Vella. If you are interested in local history, you can include both names in your personal travel plans without losing sight of other cultural attractions.

Castrelo is also home to the parish church of San Martiño de Castrelo. In 1714, it was moved from the foot of Castro do Sino to its present location. This dated relocation adds a clear point in time to the historical perspective on Castrelo. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider this cultural focus alongside the circular route and the festival dates.
