#### Location
Galicia itself is a hidden gem, and still remains largely off the typical tourist trail, making it an ideal destination for an authentic Spanish retreat. Casa Kinkan is located in a quiet village, in the Valley of A Mahia, just a ten-minute drive from the Galician capital of Santiago, a bustling and lively city full of culture and historical landmarks. Guests can walk to the local shops, restaurants and supermarkets, or take a day trip to the historical city of Santiago.

The historic city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which considered it one of the most beautiful urban areas in the world. There are many reasons to visit this city: history, nature, leisure or gastronomy are some of the things that tourists can enjoy. Visit the famous cathedral, Saint Sign of Santiago, and get lost in the narrow streets and squares that make up its historic quarter with centuries of history and majestic buildings, many of them from medieval times.

The Cathedral Museum spreads over four floors and incorporates the cathedral's large 16th-century Gothic-Plateresque cloister. You'll see a sizeable section of Maestro Mateo's original carved-stone choir (destroyed in 1604 but pieced back together in 1999), an impressive collection of religious art (including the Botafumeiros in the second-floor library), the lavishly decorated 18th-century sala capitular, a room of tapestries woven from designs by Goya, and, off the cloister, the Panteon de Reyes, with tombs of kings of medieval Leon.

Santiago's food market is a fascinating, always lively scene, very clean, with masses of fresh produce from the seas and countryside attractively displayed at 300-odd stalls. Stock up on Tetilla cheese, cured meats, sausage, fruit, empanada (pastry pie) or the tasty take-away dishes of Cocina Maria for a picnic. Numerous bars and cafes line the street outside, and there are several more within the market itself, including a wine bar in the central alley.

Outside of Santiago, guests can visit The Fervenza do Toxa, one of the highest waterfalls in Spain. Surrounded by a lush forest of oak, chestnut, birch and other native species that form a unique landscape that captivates the visitor. Guests can also take a trip to El Pazo de Oca, one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Other must-see cities like Vilanova de Cerveira and Caminha are close by too.

The coast of Rias Baixas, located just a half an hour drive away, is full of charming restaurants, cafes, and is home to a beautiful beach. The nearest airport is Santiago de Compostela Airport, just a short drive from Casa Kinkan, so getting there couldn't be easier!
