Galician Country Homes - Excellence in rustic properties

Galician Country Homes is a family orientated business created to give a sales and related services of rustic properties throughout Galicia.

The North West of Spain and more specifically Galicia is a paradise forthose who love peace and a different lifestyle, and live authentically in rural communities. Definitely a way of life closer to its natural origins, living in stone houses as years ago. Really the restoration of old houses is not excessively expensive, The walls are normally sound and this makes the restoration much easier.

Mark Adkinson the owner has lived in Galicia for over forty years. He and his wife Rosi have restored their own house themselves (nobody else took part).

Mark works in rural Galicia for the last few decades directly in contact with its people and culture. He now feels to be completely Galego. He speaks several languages including Galego (with a slight Manchester accent…) So you have the opportunity to have a guide, somebody who will help you find your future home, a friendly expert to help to control the restoration of your houses and certainly a friend in the future.

What is more Mark is very well known in Galicia for the battle that he is putting up in favor of the Galician ecology as the President of AEMS (Rivers with Life Galicia) an association that won the National Ecology Prize for its defense of the Spanish rivers and their flora and fauna.
