To get way off the beaten track, enjoy Spain at its rustic best by “playing pilgrim” for a few hours here in hauntingly beautiful O Cebreiro.
Perched on a high ridge, the impossibly quaint hobbit hamlet of O Cebreiro welcomes visitors to Galicia – a hilly, damp, green region in northwest Spain that feels vaguely Irish. O Cebreiro is a time-warp connection to an uncomplicated, almost prehistoric past, when people lived very close to nature, in stone igloos with thatched roofs. With sweeping views across the verdant but harsh Galician landscape, O Cebreiro is constantly pummeled by some of the fiercest weather in Spain.
Three of the nine surviving pallozas have been turned into a loosely run museum, where visitors can learn about the lifestyles of the people who lived in the huts. Upon entering a palloza, which typically housed a dozen people , you’ll find two simple rooms: the only “private” room in the house, belonging to the parents, and a living area around a humble fire. Surrounding the fire are clever benches with pull-down counters so they could double as a table at mealtime.
