Granary by the roadside

A perfect example of traditional Galician architecture. Stone, wood, and a wealth of history, right in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra. A curious stop to understand how corn was stored... and how we cyclists take advantage of any excuse to stop.

Contrary to what the name suggests, this was not the king's palace or residence. It's a lovely little place and good for a break.

Nice bridge on the road

Romanesque church dating from the last third of the 12th century with later alterations. Only the main entrance and part of the façade remain of the original design. It has a Latin cross plan with a rectangular nave, two side chapels, and a pentagonal presbytery. The walls are made of masonry and granite ashlars, and the roof is covered with two- and four-sided tiles. The entrance is Romanesque and features a rounded arch with two archivolts, coved arches, an outer band of truncated spires, and decorated capitals. The tympanum is plain on quoins. The altarpiece in the main chapel is neoclassical.

Following the Camino de Santiago, between Plaz del Rey and Melide, you will find this beautiful Romanesque bridge over the Rio Seco.

Travelling along the French Way, particularly evocative in this stretch, you come across this beautiful Roman bridge that you must cross.
