It does in fact appear on the Muxia-Olveiroa walk in my 2014 Brierley guide to the Camino Finisterre. "The original monastery established by Benedictine monks gave rise to the name 'land of monks' - Mongia or Muxia." (p. 88)
Interesting! I didn't know what Muxia meant!
By the way, in your photo the conjunto (set, ensemble) of buildings looked like a monastery, so I googled, "monasterio entre Fisterra y Muxia" and this was the first thing that came up. I'm glad it worked out.
Good !!
I thought that it was a pazo (palace).
Church of San Julián de Moraime - we actually did walk by it on our walk back to Santiago from Muxia in 2016 - and saw the bus go by on AC-440. It is right outside of Muxia, in Moraime. I have several pictures of the church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_San_Xulián_de_MoraimeCan anyone help me identify this imposing building? In the middle of nowhere, as I recall..... Picture snapped from a speeding bus en route from Finisterre to Muxia, back in September 2012.
I'm fairly sure that it's not on any of the walked routes.

Iglesia?Oh yes, good thought! We could keep that in mind for future searches .
@Pelegrin since you're Spanish, what other types of places are common to Spain?
Monasterio
Pazo
Hermita
What other terms can you advise us on, that we can use when we need to search to find the name and location of a mystery place?
