The setting is amazing, the Pazo is set on beautiful gardens, which are in fact the main attraction. The gardens have many signs with QR codes so you can use your phone to get more information on each of the camellias. The Pazo also has many very old buildings and religious tokens, some even dating back to the crusades
Boutique
We completed our tasting in the very old and cosy cellar, with a tasting table and benches down each side. You were also welcome to taste at tables in the garden
