    Beautiful chapel created in 1951. The hermitage is dedicated to the Virgin of A Guía and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Manuel Gómez Román was in charge of the construction of the new church, since the previous one was in a very poor state of conservation. The landmark of the church is a central tower. In the original project it was much larger and was topped with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but due to the economic situation of the brotherhood it was decided to reduce its size. The hermitage has a rectangular plan with a polygonal apse, built on a platform contained with a strong brick wall. The cachoteria wall is used on the exterior walls, while in some panels of the temple and in the porches stone is combined with fine stonework and white highlights. The cornice of the main façade is cut through an original composition of plates. The main entrance is highlighted with a split pediment with a central scallop.

    The hermitage is located crowning the Monte de A Guía, on the remains of a primitive fort and at about 100 m altitude, offering a perfect view of the Ría de Vigo from that privileged location, north of the city. Also noteworthy are the well-kept gardens that surround it, as well as a Via Crucis from the base of the mountain to the top.

    For a symbolic euro you can climb to the roof of the bell tower, which offers an excellent panoramic view

    Chapel where the mayor of Vigo installed a Christ that should be compared to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.😃😃😃

    Spectacular. A must see. It is highly recommended to climb the church bell tower. It costs only 1 euro. The views of the estuary, the bridge, the cies and the city of Vigo are spectacular. Very very pretty.

    Small and very beautiful hermitage that can be visited for €1 per person and includes access to the highest area of ​​the hermitage with privileged views of the Vigo estuary. Furthermore, in the area of ​​the hermitage there is 1 esplanade with 1 viewpoint with the best sunsets in Vigo since it can be seen hidden behind the Cíes Islands. There is 1 free car park about 7 minutes away and right at the hermitage there are a few parking spaces. I also think that it is essential to take a walk along any of the paths through the mountain of the guide since it is the only wild mountain left in Vigo with a very beautiful carballeira. You have to visit it at least once to enjoy its majesty🌄

    The tower has a nice view. The church itself is plain.

    La Ermita de la Guía is a quiet place, with magnificent views of the Vigo estuary, where you can see incredible sunsets.

    Beautiful chapel built in the mid-20th century on the top of Monte Da Guía. It was recently finished off by adding an image of the Sacred Heart on top of the bell tower according to the original project. The entire environment is very well maintained and offers beautiful views of the Ría de Vigo including beautiful sunsets.

    Un sitio para ir a ver el atardecer porque es preciso verlo desde allí, unas vistas fantásticas.

  • 5/5 Jorge A. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Some time ago I visited the chapel and I thought it was interesting and well cared for. I recently passed through Vigo but I couldn't get close enough to assess the cairn that some locals have placed over the hermitage. I can only say that from a distance that is how I could see it. "It was dazzling" and not because of its beauty but because of the radical change in color if they needed a lighthouse in the estuary they could think of another location For now I keep the 5 stars in 1 year as this contrast continues so radical that there is no way to look at it, several stars will vanish like my interest in visiting the area again (Original) Hace tiempo visite la capilla y me pareció interesante y cuidada hace poco pase por Vigo pero no me pude acercarme para valorar el mojón que según algunos lugareños han puesto sobre la ermita solo puedo decir que desde la distancia que es como la pude ver "Deslumbraba" y no por su belleza sino por el cambio radical del color si necesitaban un faro en la ría podrían pensar en otra ubicación Por ahora mantengo las 5 estrellas en 1 año como siga ese contraste tan radical que no hay ni como mirarlo se esfumaran varias estrellas como mi interés por volver a visitar la zona

    Vistas espectaculares de la ría de Vigo. Lugar de paz y serenidad, con muchos detalles a descubrir

  • 5/5 Tomás S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tal como se indica en las reseñas, tanto el monte que rodea la ermita así como la capilla son muy bonitas. El proyecto fue diseñado por Manuel Gómez Román con muchas obras ejecutadas en Vigo. Recomiendo subir a la torre desde donde hay unas vistas de 360 grados de la ría de Vigo. La escalera de acceso con poco más de 80 escalones es muy fácil de subir ya que los peldaños son bastante bajos.

    (Translated by Google) A small chapel on top of Mount de la Guía, cared for at least on the outside, with exquisite views of the estuary and the city. (Original) Pequeña capilla en el alto del monte de la Guía, cuidada al menos por fuera, con unas vistas exquisitas hacia la ría y a la ciudad.

    Recomendo visitar num dia da semana para aproveitar toda a Paz e tranquilidade que este esplendido lugar emana em quem o visita. 🧘‍♂️ A igreja é dedicada a nossa senhora da Guía. Nasceu dum projeto do arquiteto Manuel Gómez Román e data de 1952. Embora a ideia da sua construção no topo do Monte da Guía remonta há muito tempo. A construção é inspirado no estilo barroco "compostelano" e possui duas partes em arcada nas laterais. Apresenta uma planta basílica e abside poligonal, sendo que se ergue sobre uma plataforma construída sobre um muro. É possivel ver num dos seus cantos, uma imagem da Virgem Maria. A construção distingue-se pela entrada principal no frontão direito e pela grande torre que marca o centro da construção.🌬💧🍀🌲🌱A zona envolvente é de cortar a respiração. Fica situado no meio de arvoredes la bem no alto, proporcionando magníficas vistas para a Ria de Vigo.
