Wise Pilgrim APPNarón is the municipality next door to Ferrol, and Xubia is where the Camino passes through. The highlight here is the Monasterio de San Martiño de Xubia, a Romanesque monastery complex founded in the 10th century by the Counts of Traba. Documents from 977 already mention it. The monastery church is a fine example of Galician Romanesque — worth a pause.
The path runs along the ría here, past the old tide mill at As Aceas de Lembeie and over the bridge across the Xubia River into Neda. A few cafes along the way. Watch for traffic on some stretches close to the road.
The monastery of San Martiño de Xubia was one of the most important Cluniac houses in Galicia, established by the powerful Counts of Traba in the 10th century. A document from 977 records a noblewoman's donation to the monastery, confirming it was already well established by then.
