Casa de Trillo, with a long historic tradition, is situated in Santa Mariña, small village in the town council of Muxía in A Coruña which still retains the flavour of tradition.

In the middle of the rural Galician world, the chapel; dedicated to this saint, the mill, the fountains, the «cruceiro» (monumental cross), the paths that go over it, share a landscape of great richness, where it's easy to see agrarian, cattle and forest activities in any corner.

Santa Mariña is located in a privileged enclave from where attractive routes of several tours can be made. One of them goes across the small village and lands that surround it, the other one leads to rocky formations called «caldeiras», shaped by the River Castro in its course through the parish of Couceiro.

Furthermore, the short distance that exists down to the coast will facilitate to visit Cape Touriñán, the most western point of Spain, and from where several routes set out due to its wild landscape. Not far from this enclave awaits Fisterra, place that was named «End of the World» by the Romans.

Os Muíños beach is just 4km from the Casa, and not far from the beaches of Lago and Nemiña, the latter is well known among the surf lovers. Ézaro is another interesting place, outstanding for taking in the cascading mouth of the River Xallas, drowned by power-sta-tions, but can punctually be enjoyed on special dates. The lovers of stony burial mounds have in this area a large field of research.

The Route of the Dolmens takes us back to the origins of the Galician civilization, 6000 years ago. The petroglyphs of Boallo, the dolmens of Berdoias, Pedra da Arca (Baíñas), Pedra Cuberta (Treos), Arca da Piosa (Serrano) and Dombate (Borneiro) are archaeological sites that won't go unnoticed for a scholar on these themes/subjects.

Another ingredient of the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death) is its richness in craftsmanship. Vimianzo Castle takes in a live display of craftsmanship during the whole year, in which can be seen the «palilleiras» (lace makers) of Camariñas, Muxía and Vimianzo, the potters of Buño, the work of linen, wooden shoes, and other traditional crafts.

Also, if you visit us on July 18th, you can enjoy from the traditional festivity that takes place at its local shrine, Romería de Santa Mariña, who is a famous saint known for its healing power to cure animals. On that day there takes place an auction of pigs' feet and ribs that the devouts offer to the virgin to show their gratitude for the favors granted to them. The town people take advantage to gather holy land that is later supplied to the animals when they suffer from illnesses.

Way of Saint James go by; which from Fisterra and Dumbría lead to Muxía, finish-ing- line and last point of the Extension.

The Sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca; 8 km away, famous for its leg-endary stones, is intimately related to the apostolic tradi-tion.

According to legend, being Saint James Zebedee on the sea cliffs, downhearted because of the slight acceptance of his preaching among the villagers, the Virgin; in mortal flesh, appeared to announce that he must go back to Galilee as his work was concluded.

From that journey on a stony boat still remains the sail (stone of Os Cadrís) and the hull (stone of Abalar).

Routes by bicycle can be carried out, and varied activities will be organized for the visitors. A farming can also be visited with its forest plantations, its large vegetable garden, «hórreos» (elevated granaries) and stables. This circumstance is clearly shown on the ornamental elements of the bedrooms and its name, which coincide with the main lands. Granxa, Agra Darriba, Furiño, Gándara, Petón and Cortiña.

Our intellect will be delighted in the approach to the Galician History through famous personages who came out this house, and by old documents that were kept up, which will give an account of how the Galician society was in the last five cen-turies.

In the same way, the stay in the Casa will allow to enjoy several possibilities. Two of the rooms, on the ground floor, are suitable for the use of disabled people, and on the upper floor, a particular room with a hydromassage bath has been designed.

The stay in the Casa also offers the opportunity to get to know the Costa da Morte's craftsmanship, as much for the use of these products in the decoration, as for its display and sale.
