Portomarín, in the province of Lugo, is an iconic stop on the French Way of St. James. However, its history is even more fascinating. The original Portomarín was buried by the waters of the Miño River in 1963 due to the construction of the Belesar reservoir in Chantada. Residents had to choose between money or a house in the new town. Although the old town was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1946 and its Church of San Juan, a National Monument in 1931, the arrival of General Franco and the president of Fenosa, Pedro Barrié de la Maza, sealed its fate, benefiting the electricity industry.
I hope you enjoy exploring this place full of history and beauty! 😊

Oversized place name, as in some large places on the Camino de Santiago.
