This is a small chapel located in the highest part of the province of Pontevedra, the Lighthouse of Avión. The festival takes place on the second Sunday of May and the last Sunday of August. Before building the chapel, this site was highly venerated, as its height meant that Jews could take refuge here, and it was then that the chapel was built. Very close by there is a small tomb that belonged to a saint, and tradition has it that on the day of the festival the pilgrims have to wet their hands in the water of the tomb to cure themselves. A small brook also passes through here, which forms part of the beginning of the River Tea
