A Quinta da Auga hosts meetings, seminars, company dinners and weddings for groups of 10 to about 250 guests, across six rooms and garden spaces. The hotel occupies a restored eighteenth-century paper mill on the Sar River, a few minutes outside the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia.
Seminars and company events
The meetings offer covers working sessions, training days, product presentations, cocktails and dinners. The hotel lists rooms from 50 to 350 square meters, suited to groups of 15 to 300 people according to its own range. Several rooms have windows on the river or open onto terraces and the central garden, so a full day indoors does not mean a day without daylight. For a small board meeting, Sala Canal seats 10 in an imperial layout and is the most private room, with a permanent coffee service. Attendees and organizers park for free on site.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings use the gardens, with a bamboo grove and corners lit with soft light, plus a separate space reserved for the welcome cocktail. The hotel describes formats from a small gathering to full exclusive use of the property. The team handles the overall organization, including music with a DJ, decoration and lighting effects. The wedding page gives no ceremony capacities, so ask the events team for figures.
Rooms and capacities
Salón da Fonte is the largest indoor room: 200 in theatre style, 120 in classroom or at banquet, 60 in a U-shape and 250 for a standing cocktail. A large glass wall with sliding doors opens onto the central garden. Salón do Río takes 90 in theatre style and 35 at banquet, with windows onto a garden terrace.

Accommodation
Guests stay in rooms and suites on site. The spa adds a thermal circuit, a private spa and a flotation room, along with treatments and beauty services, which suits a seminar program that runs over two days. The website does not publish the number of bedrooms, so confirm the room block when you request a quote.
Catering
Catering is in-house, with menus built for each event: breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches, cocktails and dinners. The hotel restaurant, Filigrana, is led by chef Federico López Arcay and cooks Galician produce: Atlantic fish, meat from the mountains and local vegetables. The property also runs Café Baltasar and El Kiosko.
History and setting
The building was a paper factory in the eighteenth century and has been restored with care. The hotel presents itself as the first eco-hotel in Spain. It stands among old trees on the bank of the Sar, on the Camino de Santiago, which gives groups a quiet setting with the cathedral city close by.
Getting there
The address is Paseo da Amaia 23b, 15706 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña. The city center is a few minutes away by car. Santiago de Compostela has a train station and an international airport, both a short drive from the hotel. Free parking is available for event attendees.
