Santuario de Santo André de Teixido, Catholic pilgrimage chapel in Teixido, Cedeira, Spain

Santuario de Santo André de Teixido is a chapel dedicated to the apostle Andrew, standing in a hamlet on the western, mountainous slope of Cape Ortegal, about twelve kilometres north-east of Cedeira. The granite chapel was built between the 16th and 18th centuries and holds a reliquary bust of Saint Andrew. Its most notable artwork is the Baroque altarpiece.

The first documented record of pilgrimage to the sanctuary dates from 1391, though veneration there is thought to reach back to the Iron Age. The chapel itself was built between the 16th and 18th centuries in granite. In 1754–1755 the Benedictine scholar Padre Sarmiento visited and described it in his book Viaje a Galicia.

The sanctuary holds a local belief that those who fail to visit during life must return as animals after death. This conviction has shaped the pilgrimage experience for centuries and continues to draw visitors who wish to complete the ritual at the legendary saint's fountain.

The best time to visit is in September when the main annual pilgrimage occurs, though a smaller religious celebration also takes place in November. The location is exposed and can be windy and damp, so bring weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear.

Visitors follow an ancient tradition of drinking or touching their lips to water flowing from three separate spouts at the Saint's Fountain. This ritual has become so central to the pilgrimage experience that it reinforces the journey for many pilgrims across generations.
