Portomarín is a pretty town next to the Miño river.

The transit of pilgrims throughout the year marks the rhythm of life in this town. At your pace, you can not miss the photo with the letters that form your name or on the bridge that crosses the river.

As buildings, the churches of San Pedro, San Juan and San Nicolás stand out. The latter is located in the town hall square, where you will also see the monument to the pilgrim.

Portomarín, in the province of Lugo, is an emblematic 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. The 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 San Juan church a National Monument in 1931, the arrival of General Franco and the president of Fenosa, Pedro Barrié de la Maza, sealed its fate in favor of the electrical business.

I hope you enjoy exploring this place full of history and beauty! 😊

In some places you can still find old houses, which are in typical style - field stone without mortar - worked. Very interesting to see, because this construction is sophisticated.
