Once in the valley, the Igrexa de San Xoán de Portomarín church was dismantled stone by stone in the 1960s and rebuilt at its present location. Reason: The valley was flooded, and is now filled by a water reservoir. But this is not the only thing that makes the structure so special: built in the late Romanesque style, it was designed both as a castle and as a church and therefore has architectural features of both styles.

The Order of San Juan was the owner of the superb church-fortress of San Nicolás, currently San Xoán. Moved from its old location on the banks of the Miño, to the current one, in the center of the new Portomarín, this unique Romanesque temple was built at the end of the 12th century by disciples of Master Mateo.

PRAY WITH YOUR FEET

on the way, lost in thought,

I want to thank God for the opportunity

set my heart up

and leave it to God what He wants to tell me.

Grateful for the feet that carry me

so I can reach my goal.

In the conscious look at the diversity of nature,

in conscious listening to the singing of the birds,

in consciously perceiving what is going on in me and in

Being open to the encounters that are given to me.

In leaving behind what I left behind

and in anticipation of what awaits me.

The feet carry me. They are mediators between me and the way,

between what moves my heart and what I am looking for

- and the one who is on the way to me.

(from: "The most beautiful prayers for walks and hikes" by Franz Ferstl)
