This rural tourism house is in Pepín, belonging to the municipality of Castrelo do val.
After leaving Verín, and following the local road (OU-113) in the direction of Laza, 5 kilometres away, we must then take the first turning on the right and drive along 2 kilometres to reach Pepín.

A Cortiña is made up of a cluster of restored houses, which on this account keep their original appearance, showing the outstanding contrast between chesnut-coloured rock and local granite that makes facades srikingly eye-catching. MORE
