Santo André de Teixido

The sanctuary rises 140 meters above sea level on the Sierra de Capelada, featuring a Gothic triumphal arch and vaulted apse.

The first documented pilgrimage reference dates to 1391, when the site was mentioned in a testament requiring a visit to the sanctuary.

Local tradition maintains that those who do not visit Santo André during their lifetime must complete the pilgrimage after death.

Visitors can access the site through marked paths, where stone piles called milladoiros mark the traditional pilgrimage routes.

The Fountain of Three Spouts allows pilgrims to determine their wish fulfillment by observing whether bread crumbs float or sink.
