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.

From the satellite view on Google Maps it looks as if there is very little left of the building. A few fragments.

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.

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.

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.
