A 12th-century Romanesque gem with a façade related to Santiago Cathedral. From its viewpoint, you can admire the Miño River in all its splendor. Cyclist's tip: the climb is tough, but the panoramic views make the climb—and the effort—worth it.

A rare sight! A magical moment! Seeing two bridges from different eras standing side by side. Low water levels make this possible.

Portomarín, in the province of Lugo, is an emblematic stop on the French Way of St. James. However, its history is even more fascinating. The original Portomarín was buried by the waters of the Miño River in 1963 due to the construction of the Belesar reservoir in Chantada. The residents had to choose between money or a house in the new town. Although the old town was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1946 and its San Juan church a National Monument in 1931, the arrival of General Franco and the president of Fenosa, Pedro Barrié de la Maza, sealed its fate in favor of the electrical business. I hope you enjoy exploring this place full of history and beauty! 😊
