Wise Pilgrim APPA small parish with more pilgrim history than you'd expect. The Igrexa de Santiago de Sigrás is a 12th-century Romanesque church with a 17th-century seated Santiago figure holding a pilgrim's staff. The current rectory stands on the site of a medieval pilgrim hospital — documented in a 1607 inspection as sheltering "poor pilgrims" with minimal resources. A stone cruceiro and a peto de ánimas from 1815 complete the picture. The church complex is well maintained and makes a natural rest stop.
The pilgrim hospital at Sigrás was documented in a 1607 inspection by Jerónimo del Hoyo, who recorded that it sheltered poor pilgrims arriving from Northern European ports. The Romanesque church dedicated to Santiago dates to the 12th century. The cruceiro nearby traditionally marked where unbaptized children were buried.
