The Church of Santa Mariña in Sarria has a rich and fascinating history. It was built in the 12th century, during the rise of the Romanesque style in Galicia. The church is dedicated to Santa Mariña, a Christian martyr who is highly venerated in the region.

Over the centuries, the church has been an important reference point for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago, as Sarria is one of the most popular stages of this route. The church has undergone several restorations and modifications over time, but still retains original elements of its Romanesque architecture, such as its decorated arches and capitals.

Hórreo

Highlight • Monument

In rural areas of Galicia it is common to see hórreos like this one. They are traditional constructions destined to store and dry the grain. They are raised to keep the grain away from soil moisture and out of reach of possible animals.

Staircase and Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Capela das Neves), Portomarín

Highlight • Religious Site

The Escalinata and Capela das Neves is a historical monument located in Portomarín. The staircase is an imposing stone structure that is located right in front of the ugly bridge through which you cross the Miño River to reach Portomarín. It is part of the French route of the Camino de Santiago. At the top of the stairs is the Capela das Neves, a small chapel. This chapel is located on an arch of the old medieval bridge of the town.
It is a place with a rich history and a spectacular arrival for pilgrims who travel the Camino de Santiago. I hope you enjoy exploring the Escalinata and Capela das Neves! 🚶‍♂️🏞️
