Origin
How did the project come about?
Casa Terra Alma was born from the desire to live and work in a more sustainable way in nature, in a context where you can receive diverse people, offering different services and experiences.
The idea of creating a refuge in nature to reconnect with our roots has been brewing in me all my life.


Returning from Mexico, I decide to rent a small house on the French road and work for some time in a nearby hostel. It is from there that the idea of creating a rural accommodation on the Camino de Santiago arose.
This would allow me to live in nature and at the same time be in contact with people from all over the world sharing a unique experience. Forming part of a millenary route, of spiritual and personal search, where people leave their daily occupations to walk.
To understand the spirit of camino de Santiago I decided to go on different routes. In Lugo I discovered the Fonsagrada mountains on the primitive path, the Samos monastery and the O Cebreiro mountains on the French path. And I crossed the river Miño between Valenca and Tui in the Portuguese between Portugal and Galicia.
It was during the stage A Gudiña- Laza (Vía de la Plata) I descoveredthe town of As Eiras.
I really liked the place and the architecture of the village, in addition to being in a privileged environment, I was able to buy several houses that were in ruins at a low cost.
The rehabilitation process was long and complex. From doing the project to getting the permits, and the necessary aid, almost two years passed. The work took almost two more years of hard work, with unfavorable weather conditions, and many problems that appeared in the process.
Finally and with great enthusiasm here we are, with a long-term life project.
We want to offer warm, safe and simple accommodation . Where to have time to be able to talk and interact with our visitors. A personal and close attention , open to suggestions and to improve with the experience.


Un lugar donde sentirse en casa...


Aunque a ella le gustaban mucho el cine, los edificios antiguos, la música y los bailes, los parques y las personas queridas que vivían en la ciudad. Sentía en su interior que le faltaba su algo...






Allí conoció a Anita, una vecina de toda la vida, que con simpatía le enseñó varias casitas que estaban en ruinas. En aquel momento sintió por primera vez que aquel podría ser su hogar.


Al principio no fue fácil, ya que no tenía experiencia. Pero con esfuerzo y corazón consiguió la ayuda necesaria para hacer realidad el proyecto.




Nace Terra Alma, una casa en la montaña...


Pero también en un lugar de alegría, de danza y vida. Un espacio donde volver a escuchar cuentos alrededor del fuego, donde sentirse desde el corazón.


A place to feel at home ...

Terra Alma is born, a house in the mountains ...


Nace Terra Alma, unha casa na montaña ...


But also in a place of joy, dance and life. A space where you can listen to stories around the fire again, where you can feel from the heart.


Pero tamén nun lugar de alegría, danza e vida. Un espazo onde podes volver escoitar historias arredor do lume, onde sentir dende o corazón.
