    The boat passes the ruins of the historic Castellum Honesti fortress, which is a protected national monument.
    The fortress was built in the 12th century at the behest of Archbishop Gelmirez to prevent the passage of Vikings and Saracens on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Six centuries later, in the 18th century, it was also used to defend against English troops.
