Church of San Pelagio in the locality of Lavacolle located in the Municipality of Santiago de Compostela dating back to 1840 and about 10 km from the city of the Apostle. At the back there is a fairly large and decorated cemetery. Adjacent there is a fountain to refresh you. Currently the Church is managed by the Guanellian Fathers of the order of Don Guanella of Como. The Guanellian Fathers are known along this stretch of the Camino de Santiago as for about 40 km from Santiago to Arzùa they keep the churches open for pilgrims by means of Italian volunteers. Currently for 2024 the opening of worship takes place from 7.45am to approximately 12.30pm.

Cool area of the greenway for hot days After the old road was engulfed by vegetation, during the clearing work to enable the greenway, many areas were left with a coverage that looks like a tunnel

Church of Santa Lucia di Labacolla: at km. 759 of the trip) Beautiful Hermitage of Santa Lucía, in the town of San Paio, belonging to the Parish of Labacolla, originally called Sabugueira. It is probably the first parish church of Labacolla, prior to the construction of the current one. The cult is dedicated to Saint Lucia, whose feast day is celebrated on May 1, but the hamlet is dedicated to San Paio because the entire hamlet, in ancient times, was the monastery of the 'Sanctus Pelagium de Circitellum'. Saint Pelagius - called Paio in Galician - is a martyr from the 10th century of the Christian era, highly venerated in Spain because he was an example of youthful virtue and purity, barbarously murdered and torn to pieces. A ridiculous statue presides over the main altar, with the modern image of a saint dressed in nineteenth-century style... who knows why! This is an evocative place because traditionally here the Pilgrims would take off their sweaty, dirty and threadbare clothes, wash themselves completely and change their clothes to arrive in Santiago with more dignity. In this hermitage during the months of pilgrimage, from March to November, the Guanellians offer the Confessions service, also to remember the ancient rite of 'Washing' that was performed at this stop.

A striking staircase leads to this classicist-style church. Built in 1840, it has a rectangular plan and on its façade the front is a triangle at whose vertex stands the bell tower. Above the door there is a semicircular skylight. A few meters from the church stands a transept with carvings of a seated Christ.
