History

To be told

The history of Abeiro da Loba begins with my grandfather and his efforts to prevent this place from becoming a ruin.

More than 30 years have passed since the chestnut and oak trees that surround the house today were planted on this farm, creating a unique natural environment in the area. They were planted by my father with the help of my grandfather and some neighbors, giving rise to the environment that together with the house make a special place.

The house was formerly known as A Ponte and today it has been renamed Abeiro da loba.

Dreams

Two dreams come true

I’m Álex, the person who runs Abeiro da Loba.

In 2015 I had a job in Pontevedra, where I was born. But also an emptiness that I needed to fill, so I decided to take the step and move to Madelos, my village, where this house is located and where my ancestors lived and therefore part of my roots.

Before taking the step I decided to do the Camino, to learn from the experience and take note of what the pilgrims needed.

I put an almost empty backpack on my back and a notebook in my pocket. In it I wrote down everything that made me vibrate, and with those notes I found the way to make my dream come true. And without intending to, my grandfather’s and my father’s as well.

It has taken me 5 years and a lot (a lot) of help from family, friends and professionals to lift every fallen stone and prepare the house as I would like to show it to him.

With the contribution of many people we have managed to preserve the history of this place and give it a new life, creating a space for all those who seek a close contact with nature and a unique architectural design.

Abeiro da loba

It is said that in the mid-19th century there was a bandit called Pepa a Loba who robbed chieftains and priests. In my great-great-grandparents’ time, Pepa asked for shelter and food during a winter night.

Behind this story lies the new name of the house, Abeiro da loba.

ENVIRONMENT

From abeiro

My grandfather and especially my father, were clear that this place has a lot of potential and therefore always persisted the idea of recovering this house and its surroundings. He left us before we could see it, so we, his family, have been in charge of conditioning it respecting to the maximum the original structure of the house and adapting it to the present times.

Here we have been able to reconnect with the wildlife in freedom, the spectacular change of seasons … and we have overturned everything we have learned over the years in a series of activities that allow us to disseminate the richness of this place.

Abeiro in Galician means “refuge”.

Those who lived here in the past remember how the wolf prowled the area, and there are different anecdotes that today we try to prevent them from falling into oblivion. The story that gives its name to the house can be discovered by solving an escape room, do you dare to discover it?
