Igrexa da Portela

Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieros

The Igrexa da Portela is a semi-abandoned stone church on the camino between San Amaro and Cortegada. The main door is usually locked, but try the side door on the right — it's often open. Inside, the church has that particular atmosphere of places that were once central to community life and now sit quietly, waiting. The surrounding cemetery adds to the air of gentle abandonment.

No services. This is a place to pause and look, not to resupply.
