The Capela de Penasillás, in the province of Lugo, Galicia. It is a building with a rectangular floor plan and small dimensions, with masonry and granite ashlar walls, and a gabled roof. The frontispiece has a lintel cover and ends with a simple bell with a single opening.⛪

Pretty village of about 20 inhabitants, within the municipality of Chantada. I hope you enjoy your visit! 😊

There is room for refreshment in the bar. Or if you like, you can simply relax on the pilgrims' square. Some pilgrims also like to ring the bell. I don't like it, but if you really want to...
