Description

Remarkable house, tower-country house type, inhabited since the 17th century and owned by the family of the writer Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, one of the major contemporary Spanish authors. Between 1834-1940 it was the town hall. On its facade, resolved in two bodies, it combines walls of stone fragments, stonework pilasters and ashlar pieces around spaces and balconies. There is a large coach house door with a segmental arch which is worthy of note.

Access

From Ferrol, skirting A Malata, before coming to the service station there is a junction on the right which leads to Serantes.
