There's a new route planned from the Ribeiro, the Camiño Xacobeo Miñoto-Ribeiro, which I assume will use this gate. Also, it's the nearest for those who arrived by train ;-)JohnnieWalker said:Porta de Macereliis, now Puerta de Mazerelos, the only one which still survives

Wasn't the latter used for wine deliveries?
