    Portomarin, an important pilgrimage station on the Camino de Santiago by a bridge over the Miño River, was completely dismantled in the 1960s and rebuilt on the hill next door. The original site went under in the floods of the newly constructed Embalse de Belesar reservoir.

    Among other things, you can see the old bridgehead, which was integrated into the new bridge.

      Before entering Puerto Marín, you can find the "Escalinata de las Nieves", with its staircase and panoramic point. The views are worth it and there is a lot to play with photography if that is your thing.

        In the village, on the river side, there is a remarkable stairwell. It leads to the Capela das Neves. A chapel on the river side. The stairwell is built with stones from the old village. Once at the top, in addition to the chapel, you also have a beautiful view over the dammed river.
