Nosa Señora da Lanzada S XII-XIII
Under this chapel is the beach of A Lanzada which was, for a long time, the Galician reference for infertile women to become pregnant.
There were three key dates of the year:
The 21st of June
On June 23, the night of San Xoán
Both linked to the pagan celebration of the summer solstice.
Women who wanted to have a child and were unable to, for whatever reason, entered the water and let its waves pass nine times over their bellies.
