Pazo de Sedor

Pazo de Sedor is a 17th-century Galician manor house turned rural hotel, standing in the hamlet of Sedor, in the parish of A Castañeda (Santa María), in the municipality of Arzúa, province of A Coruña. The building sits right on the Camino de Santiago, roughly 40 km from Santiago de Compostela.

What exactly is a "pazo," and why does this one matter?

A pazo is the classic Galician manor house: a stone-built residence traditionally surrounded by walls, gardens, and farm outbuildings. Pazo de Sedor keeps that stone architecture intact while operating today as a rural tourism property, giving pilgrims walking the Camino Francés a chance to spend the night in a setting that pairs historic character with modern hotel comfort.

Where is it, and how do you get there?

The property sits in Sedor, a small settlement within the parish of A Castañeda, part of the Arzúa municipality — one of the well-known stops on the French route of the Camino de Santiago, where many pilgrims complete one of the final stages before reaching Santiago de Compostela. Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport is about a 30-minute drive away. The Portodemouros Reservoir, popular for water sports, is roughly 10 minutes away by car.

What facilities does the pazo offer?

Pazo de Sedor has 11 air-conditioned rooms, each fitted with a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, and the property can host up to 18 guests at once. On site there is a restaurant serving Spanish cuisine — breakfast and dinner, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options — plus a bar. Guests also have access to two lounges with sofas, a fireplace, and board games, along with a garden, a terrace, an outdoor pool, and a padel court. The whole property is smoke-free, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Who is this pazo best suited for?

Thanks to its position directly on the Camino de Santiago, Pazo de Sedor works especially well as a stop for pilgrims finishing a stage near Arzúa, offering a quiet, rural place to rest before the final push to Santiago de Compostela. At the same time, the pool, padel court, and fireside lounges make it a comfortable base for travelers exploring Galicia by car who have nothing to do with the pilgrimage at all.
