The Church of St. James was one of the churches where pilgrims who were ill and could no longer continue could have the Compostela issued. They then did not have to complete the journey to Santiago de Compostela but could finish their journey here as usual. During excavations around the church, many pilgrim graves were found, so it can be assumed that many pilgrims did not make it back home.

The Orellán Gallery is an ancient underground water conduit that extends for about 100 meters. Its original function was to transport water from inside the mountain to burst it from within. The conduit ends at a viewpoint located in a vertical cut of the mountain, offering an impressive view. These galleries were part of the mining exploitation system known as Ruinae Montium. The Romans used these structures to extract minerals and natural resources. I hope you enjoy this historical and natural experience! 😊

Also known as Mirador do Xuguiño, this viewpoint is located on the slope of Mount Meda, almost 1000 meters high. It was added to the network of viewpoints of the Parada de Sil municipality in 2019. From here, you will be able to appreciate the grandeur of the valley and its vertical canyons, including the meander that forms Os Cotarros in Belmonte, an emblematic image of the Sil Valley and the entire Ribeira Sacra. The Chao de Maseiros Viewpoint is an excellent place to learn about the peculiarities of the Las Médulas Natural Monument. I hope you enjoy the stunning views from this viewpoint! 🌿🏞️
