Ferreiros

Highlight • Settlement

Ferreiros, 9 kilometers from Portomarín, is a small town, with just over 100 inhabitants, belonging to the municipality of Paradela, in the Sarria region. Ferreiros, with a notable Jacobean past, has a public hostel; When the pilgrims who travel the Sarria-Portomarín stage of the French Way reach this town in the direction of Santiago, they will have already left the municipality of Sarria.

Morgade

Highlight • Settlement

Village of 4 inhabitants (650 m) on the French Way as it passes through the Galician province of Lugo. 100 km from Santiago. Located just over 11 km from the town of Sarria, its fame stems from the fact that from its surroundings there are 100 km to reach Santiago through the French Way. The marker that indicates it is at the entrance to this village, just after crossing the previous one, A Brea. It is the minimum distance required by the Cathedral of Santiago for the granting of the compostela, the ecclesiastical certificate of the pilgrimage.

Vilachá Wine Cellars

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Vilachá refers to an ancient village on flat land. This is the old flat village of San Mamede, which is mentioned in medieval documents. Vilachá is located on the slopes of the Augalevada mountain range. It is the only parish in the municipality bordering the Sil.

Vineyard cultivation was and is of great importance and from an ethnographic point of view it has a significant group related to this cultivation, which are its wineries. They are very old. They have masonry walls and are covered with a gabled roof made of slate slabs. There are forty-two wineries, but most are privately owned.

In the wineries there is still a fountain called the Frades (friars' fountain). It is no coincidence that San Mamede is celebrated in Vilachá as in the Montederramo mountain range. The riverbank was chosen by the monks for the cultivation of vines due to its microclimate. Apparently, on the way down to the Sil River there was a monastery that was formed when the hermits who lived along the river joined together until it was incorporated into Montederramo.

Portomarín Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, along with the Lugo and Ourense bridges, was the only way to cross the Miño without using a boat, which is why the pilgrims' route had to pass through here.
