Igrexa de Santa Mariña Dozo


This ruined 15th-century church is now roofless but still has its four semicircular roof arches intact, and is surrounded by a well-kept cemetery with elaborate graves – all very picturesque, and particularly atmospheric when floodlit. The five-minute walk up to the Mirador de A Pastora is well worth it for expansive views over the Ría de Arousa.
