A peaceful beachside retreat, modern and cosy. The house is embedded between the sands of blue flagged Area Brava and a secluded cove. Anchored on the very shore of the bay of Aldán, our home is a trove of light, sand and murmuring waves to forge luminous family memories and bonds to last for a lifetime. Equally well-suited to action –paddle surf, kayaking— and relaxation –smart projector, fireplace—, let the song of the Atlantic Ocean and our hospitality lull you into a delightful stay. From the very moment we spotted the austere bearing of the original construction –a remnant of an old fish farm—, we became aware of the uniqueness of its location and its dazzling possibilities. The building evoked the melancholy of a stranded whale, or that of a boat wrecked against the rocks, and bore the mark of long-lasting oblivion. Today, it is a modern space, comfortable, vibrant with light and family life: a home we feel lucky to live in and proud to show. The house holds 100 m2 of living space and is surrounded by a 300-m2 garden. The layout holds three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one kitchen, two dining rooms –one inside and another one outside — and a magnificent living room

Prisilla is half Venezuelan, half Galician. I am looking forward to meeting you.

We find ourselves on the Galician coast, in the so-called Rías Baixas. Here, the fury of the Atlantic Ocean fades into the greenery of the rocky wilderness and the land’s soft, almost embracing relief –a permanent contrast to the ubiquitous blue of the bays. No matter how much you may argue against it: for us, this is the most beautiful place on earth –rain or no rain. However, this is also the heart of what us, natives, like to humorously call the Baja Galifornia: an imprecisely outlined geographic area blessed with a warmer and sunnier microclimate than the rest of Galicia. Here, summertime and beach days may protract themselves until early October, and two or even three-week spells of hot, sunny weather –with daytime temperatures well above 25 degrees and nigh-to tropical nights— are typical, if unpredictable. The counterpart of long days raining cats and dogs is also, always, a possibility –therefore our infamous reluctance towards assertions and long-standing dependence on the words “it depends” to answer whichever question you may pose. Just in case, pack a raincoat.
