Wayside cross above Cee

[Peter Morrill]

I've been reviewing some of the 1000 or so photographs I took of my pilgimage last year (ah, the convenience of digital cameras!) and came across one I took of a wayside cross some 100 metres off the route just above Cee. It intruiged me as it was well tended with a paved area around it, implying some local historical significance. I don't have enough spanish to translate the plaque, but saw a reference to 'Armada'. There were views over the Atlantic at this point so the Spanish Armada may have had some connection here. I've posted the photo in the photo album (Santiago to Finisterre page). Does anyone have any information on this?
Many thanks

there's a page on the cruceiros in Cee at

Did you note down the inscription? 'Armada' can mean 'navy' in Spanish or it can simply mean 'armed' (cf English 'armed forces'), so on a wayside cross could be 'armed against the devil' or something like that.
