Home to the Ribeira Sacra wine-growing area, the medieval city of Ourense and some of Europe’s greatest hot springs, the province of Ourense is one of inland Galicia’s best-kept secrets. Lucas Fox offers an excellent selection of large country estates, pazos, charming historic stone houses and ruins for sale in this stunning corner of Spain.

Ourense is a province of Galicia, in the north-western tip of Spain, bordered by the provinces of Pontevedra to the west, Lugo to the north, León and Zamora to the east and by Portugal to the south. Landlocked and surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is a mainly rural area that enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate and offers a great quality of life to those that settle here.

Ribeira Sacra, in the northern section of the province of Ourense, comprises the land around the Rivers Sil, Cabe and Miño. Before flowing into the Miño, River Sil borders the provinces of Lugo and Ourense through the impressive deep Sil Canyon, creating a breath-taking unique landscape of rock formations, winding waterways and vertical green slopes clad with vineyards. Properties available in this area boast incredible panoramic views and offer a golden opportunity to reconnect with nature; ideal as holiday homes or rural tourism businesses.

Known as the city of water, Ourense is the capital of the province by the same name and the third largest city in Galicia. It is home to a great variety of tapas and wine bars, cultural events, markets and the famous As Burgas Thermal Baths. Ourense City is famed for its stunning Modernist architecture, particularly the works of the genius architect Daniel Vázquez Gulías, as well as the historic medieval centre of the city and the modern perimeter.

Outside of the city we find the medieval towns of Ribadavia, Alllrariz, Celanova and the beautiful monasteries of Oseira, San Estevo (Hotel) and San Clodio (Hotel). Ourense province is also well known for natural parks, hiking tours, cycling, heritage sites and wine tourism.
