As Casas da Viña

As Casas da Viña is a small locality in the province of Lugo, Galicia, on the Camino Primitivo route approaching Lugo city. The name means the houses of the vineyard, indicating that the settlement developed in association with a vine-growing estate or vineyard, a relatively unusual land use in the Lugo interior compared with the wine zones of southern Galicia.

The locality sits in the valley terrain approaching Lugo, where the suburban fringe of the city begins to be felt but the agricultural character persists in the surrounding fields and woodland. The vineyard name gives the locality a distinctive identity among the farmstead toponyms of the surrounding area.
