A lovely Chapel of Santa Lucia, in the village of San Paio, belonging to the Parish of Labacolla, originally called 'Sabugueira'. It is probably the first parish church of Labacolla, before the current one was built. The cult is dedicated to Santa Lucia, whose feast is celebrated on May 1st, but the hamlet is dedicated to San Paio because the entire hamlet, in ancient times, was the Monastery of 'Sanctus Pelagium di Circitellum'. San Pelagius - called Paio in Gallego - is a martyr of the 10th century of the Christian era, highly venerated in Spain because he was an example of virtue and youthful purity, barbarically murdered and torn to pieces. A ridiculous statue dominates the main altar, with the modern image of a saint dressed in 19th-century style... who knows why! This is a suggestive place because traditionally here the Pilgrims took off their sweaty, dirty and worn clothes, washed themselves completely and changed their clothes to arrive in Santiago with more dignity. In this Chapel during the months of the Pilgrimage, from March to November, the Guanellians offer the Confession service, also to remember the ancient rite of the 'Washing' that was carried out during this stop.

Built in 1840, it has a rectangular plan and on its facade the front is a triangle at the vertex of which stands the bell tower. Above the door it has a semicircular skylight. A few meters from the church stands a transept with sculptures of Christ sitting.
