jardín impresionante por la variedad de plantas que hay, sobretodo cuando las camelias están en flor. Visitar en días soleados para poder disfrutar de los paseos por los jardines
in Oca befindet sich dieses herrliche stattliche Herrschaftshaus. in der Nähe der Flüsse Bio und Mao die Gegend hat den Namen Terras do Ulla. Der Ursprung dieses Castels geht auf das dreizehnte Jahrhundert zurück. Der Pazo do Oco hat drei Bereiche, das Herrenhaus, der wunderschöne Garten, Versailles lässt grüssen, und anschliessend die Kirche San Antonio de Padua sowie mehrere Arbeiterhäuser. Ein Besuch lohnt sich immer.
El Pazo de Oca es uno de los más bonitos y mejor conservados pazos de Galicia. El precio de la entrada es razonable para conservar estos maravillosos jardines.
The Pazo (palace) de Oca consists solely of the gardens, which were really beautiful and tranquil. It's about 30mins drive from the city of Santiago de Compostela. If you don't have a car you can take the bus - Castromil Monbus from Santiago de Compostela. The stop is Balboa, and you will need to walk about a kilometre from where the bus leaves you on the highway to the palace - there are signs to point the way. There were not many places to buy food, but if you bring your own you cannot take it into the gardens. It took us about 1.5 hours to fully explore the grounds, and if we had have rushed through we wouldn't have come across some of the orchards or tucked away areas - one included animal sculpted hedges. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to escape the cities, it was fun and refreshing.
Absolutely beautiful. Forget the whole versailles comparison. It's not that, but in its own right it is lovely and WAY less people then Versailles. The four of us were the only people there wandering around the gardens and grottos and ponds and pergolas. Take a picnic.
No me gustó que no pude ver la dependencias. Hay unos días determinados para visitarlas. Los jardines y estanques me gustaron mucho. En primavera debe de ser más bonito aún. Hay muchos magnolios.
One of the best kept secrets in northern Spain!!Fabulous self-sustaining palace with one of the best kept gardens in Spain!One can feel the work of generations that have gone into its gardens and walls. Full of special stories and anecdotes!If you can, get a guided tour!AC
As I visited it both ways, enjoying its environment within a company event and on my way, making there a short stop to have a coffee and a short rest. It is a magnificent old pazo (palace in Galician language) that is being utilized for events
De verdad un lugar asi pienso que deberia tener mas repercusion y divulgacion mas alla del poco que tiene a nivel nacional. Importante! Solo se puede llegar en coche y para entrar debéis llamar al timbre de la puerta principal. El pazo es privado y no dejan entrar pero ya solo los gigantescos jardines merecen la pena. Lleno de vides, fuentes, esculturas, lagos...
El Pazo de Oca conserva un extraordinario jardín barroco muy bien conservado y lleno de simbolismo. Es un lugar de visita recomendada para todos los públicos.
