Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The mountain landscapes of O Invernadeiro and the Entroido de Vilariño de Conso offer different focal points for a stay in Vilariño. There are also circular routes and regular markets. If you are looking for accommodation in Vilariño, you can start by considering whether nature experiences, routes or the festive tradition best match your travel plans.

Nature and routes

The mountainous natural area of O Invernadeiro lies in the Sierra de Vilariño de Conso (Ourense), south of the central massif of the province of Ourense. In the nature park, visitors may be lucky enough to spot roe deer, red deer or mountain goats. Wildlife watching is therefore a possible addition, but not an activity that can be reliably scheduled. A walk in O Invernadeiro starts at the Aula de la Naturaleza and leads to the Centro Ictiogénico, a trout-breeding laboratory. Visitors can tour the facility there. This offers different ways to experience nature: the possibility of spotting wildlife and a specific destination connected with fish farming.

There are also different points to consider when planning the routes. The R9 – Ruta del Embalse del Vao is an easy mountain biking route for all levels and circles the Encoro do Vao in the municipality of Vilariño de Conso. The PR-G 118 – Ruta dos Soutos is a circular route that starts in the municipality’s main town. Its main route is 7.9 km long. In winter, conditions may affect access, so plan your walk with local conditions in mind. The R9 is classified as a mountain biking route and runs around the reservoir, while the PR-G 118 focuses on the circular route and its stated length.

Entroido and local markets

The Entroido de Vilariño de Conso is part of the festival of national tourist interest “Entroidos del Oriente Ourensano”. Its central figure is the Boteiro, who leads the Fulión. The Fuliada reveals another side of the festival: a satirical, mischievous performance about current topics such as politics and religion, or social events from the previous year in the town. Different elements of the tradition come together here—a prominent character, the Fulión and a performance addressing topical themes.

Domingo Gordo features the large Fulión parade and the Festa do Cabrito. As the annual festival dates vary, it is advisable to check the date for the year you plan to travel. A fair is held in the municipality of Vilariño de Conso on the 4th of each month; changes may apply on public holidays. Bear this in mind when planning. The Feiron street market takes place at Praza da Vila in Vilariño de Conso. The festive tradition, the fair and the street market offer different ways to shape your stay around a particular interest.
