👍👍 It is worth doing a few km of very narrow and curvy roads. It is a very beautiful town surrounded by nature. Very pleasant walk

Soaring Romanesque cathedral & site of pilgrimage known for Master Mateo's carved arched portico.

👍👍 Founded in AD 573, this enchanting mini-monastery 11km south of Luintra contains three cave chapels, originally carved out of the rock as retreats for early hermits, plus a number of rock-cut graves from the 10th century and later. Lots of information and museum in the building next door, does close...

👍👍 Parish church constructed between 1944 and 1957, designed by architect Antonio Palacios, who, having died in 1945 never would have seen his masterpiece completed.

1100s Romanesque church noted for its 18th-century flying buttresses & tilting interior columns.

😠 The cathedral is great, BUT: we came from Germany to see Santiago de Compostela and a part of it is Pórtico de la Gloria. The website did not allow to book two weeks in advance. We called at least ten times two different landlines and tried the same on a given mobile number. No one in none of them...

👍👍 Encantadora Iglesia Románica del rural gallego muy bien conservada. Merece la pena visitarla, en las noches de verano iluminada está preciosa.

13th-century cathedral offering Romanesque & Gothic architecture, a tower with views & guided tours.

😐 Un monasterio barroco espectacular y con una Capilla Mozárabe excepcional. La visita es guiada y muy estresante, ya que la misma persona que hace la visita tiene que cobrar, hacer la visita, atender a los siguientes y básicamente hacerlo todo. La pobre hacia lo que podía y ponía toda su buena intenc...
