FAQs

The xacias are half-fish, half-human mythological creatures that inhabit the waters of the Miño, both in its depths and on the banks, in forts and caves, and are the protagonists of deeply rooted legends here in the Ribeira Sacra. They say that the Xacias, very beautiful, frequently joined humans, some infatuations that did not usually have a happy ending. The Miño River, like other rivers, was venerated by primitive cultures, since it represented the water mythology, according to which its waters have always been inhabited by fantastic beings. The xacias seem to be related to the Irish selkies or the Asturian xanas. Some say that, at night, they come out of the water and roam these lands. We suspect that they often visit our house, which is also theirs, and of course yours.
