La Casa offers various activities in fields such as Mycology, Ecotourism, walk-routes through the pine forest and alongside local rivers.
Guests could also visit local dairies and farm houses. You will be able to experience a grape harvest in a rural style, where guests can participate if they wish. The Rueda wineries, located at about 40 km from La Casa, can also be visited.
Ornithology and Greyhounds

In periods of migration, you can also see magnificent specimens of migratory birds in the Lagunas de Lavajares, located in our village.
During the hunting season, is also possible to enjoy greyhound racing, a very popular activity in Moraña where we have some of the best runners of the country. Hunting in the village reserve will be considered as a possibility, though this activity will have an extra cost.
