San Blas Chapel · Ponte Maceira

The Chapel of San Blas, patron saint of Ponte Maceira, is a simple but endearing construction, probably from the 18th century. Located next to the medieval bridge, it is venerated by the neighbors, who every February 3 celebrate the traditional pilgrimage in his honor. In it, food and animals are blessed, asking for health and protection for the gorges. Despite its modesty, this chapel embodies the soul of rural Galicia, with deep roots in local customs. A place where popular faith and landscape blend in perfect harmony.
