DEFINITION
Facing the actual needs without compromising the capability of the future generations to satisfy their own needs and allowing a balance between economic growth, commitment to the environment and welfare (what it is well known as Three Pillars of the Sustainability)
Celtainer is a project that, from the beginning, has always believed in the sustainability,
Celtainer is a project that, from the beginning, has always believed in the sustainability, divided into three levels related to the Building, the Energy and the Environment. Our building values are based on the self-building of the touristic apartments, by using used shipping containers, in order to give them a second useful life.
Energy
As to insulation, we tried to generate passive apartments, by insulating through different levels and slayers. For the interiors we mostly used OSB and pallets, with the purpose of recycling as much as possible.
By joining this good level of thermal insulation, the Energy used to warm up the apartments is lower than a traditional building. In order to warm up the apartments and to warm up the Sanitary Hot Water we used Aerothermy, that is a renewable source able to extract until the 77% of the energy contained in the air that surrounds us.
The Aerothermy’s systems are new generation heat pumps designed for air conditioning during summer, heating in winter and, in case, to produce domestic hot water, always.
We have installed 16 solar panels providing an output of almost 9,000 W.
Environmental
We have to recognize that for many household uses you do not need the quality of drinking water, for instance in the wc we waste daily more or less 40 liters of drinking water. This is the reason why we decided to collect rainwater in order to have an independent canalization, that allows us to store rainwater in a water tank. It is a non-sense to use drinking water for the wc. The rainwater storage tanks to cover these needs are used again from the food-industries, to avoid water waste. Another topic really important for us is reducing the use of plastic, hence we decided to offer to our clients a plastic-free experience, even by using metal cleaning accessories, as for instance the mop buckets. All bed and bath linen are in cotton natural fibres.

MONASTERIO DE ROCAS
This monastery, which is unique due to the fact that it is excavated in the natural rock, displays none of the delicate Gothic structures nor the harmonious proportions of the Renaissance style. It is a very ancient, rough, almost primitive construction, which witnessed the first hermit settlements in the area. The historical value of San Pedro de Rocas (St. Peter of the Rocks) is more anthropological than esthetical . The presence of the first inhabitants here can be traced back to the year 573. According to the inscriptions on its foundation tablet, which is kept at the Provincial Archaeological Museum, its founders were seven men who chose this beautiful spot as a retreat to lead a life of prayer.

One of the most spectacular viewpoints in Galicia, and unquestionably the most popular in the Ribeira Sacra. It is not that the capital of Spain is distinguished from here, but that it was the place chosen by women to see their emigrant husbands marching. Many were waffle makers and they went with their song to the festivals (verbenas) in Madrid and other parts of Spain. This is also explained why in the village there is a monument dedicated to the Barquilleiro (waffle maker).

Manzaneda is a small ski resort oriented for the enjoyment of familiar and quiet skiing. It is immersed in a vaste pine forest of more than 2,000 ha that provides it with an enormous beauty, especially in winter. Although it does not have a large extension of slopes (17 km), it offers beautiful off-piste routes through the pine forest, for people who know the area very well. In recent years, a significant investment has been made in its bike park (circuits prepared for downhill mountain biking), but the rest of the services have not been neglected: modifying the pool to create a Spa with thermal circuit, as well as the construction and start-up of a Giant Zip Line and a Multiadventure Park.

In the Galician province of Pontevedra, situated on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, lies the city that lends its name to the southernmost estuary of the Rías Baixas: Vigo.
Its fishing origin has left an historic quarter with a strong maritime flavour, which contrasts with the modern facilities of its marinas. This city is an excellent base for visiting the towns and villages along the Vigo estuary and the Cíes Isles that form part of the National Park of the Atlantic Islands. The cuisine of the Galician coast, based on fish and seafood, is an added incentive for visiting this region.
Distance 124 Km – 1,15 hours by car
Valença do Minho is a fortified village, strategically located above the Miño River, close to the Spanish border, which constitutes one of the greenest and most fertile lands of this region of northern Portugal.
This peculiar divided city constituted the first defense line against attacks from the neighbouring country. Good evidence of this are the two fortified squares, replete with bastions for defense, watchtowers and gigantic doors, together with a bridge that covers the wide moat which shaped the old part of town.
Distance 123 Km – 1,15 hours by car minutes
