Luisa has qualified in boatmanship and  has purchased a twelve Seater  boat that  she uses to explore the narrows of the river with her guests. She has contact with many local artesans, wineries, hotels and guest houses and other tourist activities.  Guests enjoy the spectacular waterfall of Marce, the many romanesque churches and monasteries, perhaps climbing the vineclad cliffs along the river Miño or even swimmimg in its warm water. Her passion lies in protecting and preserving this glorious region for future generations. To help achieve  this vision she is planning to embark on a  Masters  programme of research  into sucessful preservation in other parts of the World that might shed light on how the Ribera Sacra might survive.
