Spectacular landscapes. The cable car ride also offers beautiful views. I visited/walked around there and loved it, I recommend it.👍🥾

This important place of worship—as a cathedral, the most important church not only in the city but in the entire archdiocese—bearing the title "San SALVADOR" was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God. Rather, it is dedicated to the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Savior.

In the small village of Ramil at the foot of the Camino, just before Triacastela, stands one of Galicia's most beautiful century-old chestnut trees. Its trunk spans 8.5 meters and, with its hollow spaces and thick branches that seem to embrace the tree, resembles an X-ray of time.

Large deciduous tree that is common in the mountains of Galicia. The fruits are covered with a green rind with thorns, the "erize". The season for harvesting chestnuts is November, and in Triacastela and throughout Galicia in general it is celebrated with a festival called "magesto". The main use of the chestnut tree is to obtain its wood and use its fruit as food for the population in general and as food for livestock.

Construction of the current cathedral began in the 14th century on this historically significant square. The magnificent towers that characterize the cathedral were completed by the middle of the 14th century, which is why the cathedral has many Gothic elements.

The "iron cross" here on Monte Irago, which is legendary for many pilgrims on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of the Apostle James the Greater, has since been replaced by a copy at the original location. The cross, which appears comparatively small due to its enormous height, is on the top of a very long tree trunk and protrudes from a constantly growing pile of stones. Many pilgrims take a stone with them on the Way of St. James and place it here. This stone symbolizes the burdens and hardships of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone and can thus move on free of them.

Currently, the Cathedral of El Salvador is experiencing a golden age, with the strong dynamism experienced in recent times by the Camino Primitivo, which maintains a constant flow of pilgrims and tourists throughout the year.

This impressive tree is over 800 years old. A true natural monument.
