Dimensions 200 x 10 m

Further information

The Paseo de los Tilos is a fundamental axis of the structure of the pazo, and is possibly the result of the landscaping reforms that François de Vié, gardener to the Royal Palace, introduced on behalf of the Marquises of Camarasa around 1866. This French gardener accentuated, by means of an aligned plantation of lime trees enclosed by box hedges adorned with half-spheres, an already existing path that connected the ponds with the Guillufe wood, thus following the trend in landscaping to enhance the integration of the garden into the surrounding nature. 

The design conceived today is ideal for the celebration of dinner events, even the spaciousness of the space allows the placement of tents in case of bad weather.

The pond is doubly delimited by a stone wall and a plant wall, designed by Andrés Gayoso in which he also had two stone boats built, one for war, the other for fishing, and a figure, the lord of the serpent, as an intermediary between the two worlds: the calm water world of the upper pond, today called "of the virtues". and the turbulent waters of the one below, which we know as the "of the vanities".

Ideal space for the reception of guests and cocktail reception.
