[/b]From The Visitor' Guide to the Marian Santuaries of Galicia, by Juan José Cebriém Franco.
Morantes, San Vicente, Eremita de Nuestra Señora de Las Angustías, Agualada, Santiago. La Curña-Santiago. 8 September.
It is a chapel which is located on the Camino de Santiago which comes from Ferrol, Villalaba and Betanzos and which enters the City of the Apostle by the north.
It was the place where they washed themselves, purifying themselves before entering Santiago. Already in the XII century this chapel existed, a time at which it was part of the presbytery. In the XVI, when the cloister of the cathedral was demolished so as to construct the present one, one of the arches was brought to this chapel and retained as its triumphal arch.
Often, having bathed in the fountain, which the pilgrims used to cure warts, they took water from this fountain to give it to the sick. On stormy days, it was usual to ring the bells to drive away the clouds and stop the thunder.
It certainly is. Hostal Miras approx 15 Euros for single room. Hotel San Vicente, £54 for double room, but you do get breakfast and your own showerJohnnieWalker said:Miguel - thanks I've had one or two e mails from pilgrims saying that the Hotel Vicente was very good although much more expensive than the hostal Miras in Sigueiro.
