The Chapel of São Paio in Labruge is a charming spot on the Portuguese Coastal Way.
In 1885, a small chapel was built in the Castro de São Paio, in the middle of a farmland facing the sea.
The chapel's highlight is its altar, which was carved from a rock brought from the ocean.
The chapel is surrounded by farmland and country roads, perched on cliffs that descend to the beach.translated by•March 24, 2024
It was probably built in the Middle Ages to Christianize a place that had been sacred since ancient times. The name S. Paio comes from the young martyr S. Pelayo.
