This article comments on the 100th anniversary of the parish priest's discovery of the Roman crypt in Santa Eulalia de Boveda. This amazing place, with many paintings of peacocks, birds, etc, dates, I believe, from the 3rd or 4th century. It is a few km off the Primitivo about 10-12 km outside Lugo.

It is so well worth a visit. And if you go, I learned after I took the detour that you don't have to return the way you came, that there is a marked path to Bacurin (where there is also a pretty little romanesque church in the woods) and continue on the Primitivo from that spot.
I have a memory that some have said on the forum that the visiting hours have been reduced, so it's worth checking in Lugo. When I walked, it opened at 11 am (think it was a Sunday) and I arrived a few minutes early, walked around the village a bit, and right on the dot, it opened at 11.
Highly recommended! Buen camino, Laurie
