Visit to different gardens at two of the most remarkable Mansions in Galicia.
  • Discover the Galician Stone Mansions.

  • Walk along the French garden.

  • Walk along the English garden.

  • Learn about different botanical species at the gardens.


Visit Pazo de Oca, a nice building from the 17th century. The Facade of pazo along with the chapel and the little houses around forms a splendid stately seat. This beautiful pazo has good galleria framed by Galician, and an aqueduct that divert the waters of the local brook to be taken advantage of in the stately house. In the gardens it emphasizes the stroll of the pools, the laundry and the mill; where also we found swans, ducks and gooses. In these gardens we also found boxwood, a shrub of whose wood the best Galician pipes are made.  Also we found Magnolia’s, disks, a giant criptomeria japonica, camelios. We will also stroll along 300 meters bordered of linden trees. 

Visit Pazo de Ribadulla, these gardens are completely different, Oca are french style and Ribadulla are English style. There is small pond at the entrance, with a Virginia tulip tree; a nice little waterfall in the middle of the forest. 

Return to Coruna.
