Between Torres del Río and Viana there is an ermita marked on the map, the Ermita de San Román. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere, and there appears to be no road or path leading to it. I've not been able to find a picture of it on t'internet. Have you seen it? Do you have a photo of it? Is it worth finding a way to it? Thanks.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
If you look at the satellite image of the area via Google maps it appears to just be a ruin, with only one wall still visible.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Thanks, both of you. I didn't think I'd get a decent image from Google Maps, so I didn't try to get close. Yes, there isn't much there. Hardly worth mentioning it on the map, but I suppose, but to really keen ermita collectors it must be as important as any other.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Well it looks kinda cool to me, history lost amongst the trees, somewhere I'd find myself detouring to. Thank you for pointing it out.
