FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The outdoor setting can be viewed free of charge. This does not mean that the inside of the granary or church is open.

The building is visible from an open outdoor setting. Do not interpret this as permanent interior opening, and respect nearby residents.

Allow 30–60 minutes for the hórreo and Santa Comba ensemble. Set aside half a day when adding the beach or Lira.

The setting includes granite, edges, slopes and uneven surfaces. Practical accessibility depends on parking location and daily conditions.
