A Rigueira is a modest creative space nestled in the heart of nature, located in a serene location just 25km from the city of Lugo. Situated by the Rigueira stream, it is a secluded house embodying the traditional Galician rural architecture, dating back over 300 years.
The house features the rustic charm of old stables, a grand wood-fired oven, a well, and various indoor and outdoor spaces. Surrounded by fruit trees, vegetable gardens, meadows, historic water mills, ancient trees, and rolling hills.
Partially renovated, the house provides essential comforts for activities and relaxation, without lavish extravagance, retaining its rural essence for a communal and nature-connected experience right from the start.
A Rigueira offers a setting that invites a different level of listening, breathing, and immersion in nature, enriching our dance.
With both single and shared rooms, a spacious kitchen and dining area, and plenty of spots to unwind, the house is a stone's throw from forests and rivers.
The dance area, situated in one of the original stables, spans 80m2 and features windows that establish a connection to the natural surroundings.
