The Ramallosa Romanesque bridge crosses the Miñor river and divides the municipalities of Baiona and Nigrán and it is a wonderful place where to stop to admire the beauty of the area. Some street parking is available.nIt is one of the most beautiful in medieval style that is preserved in Galicia, ordered to be built by San Telmo, Bishop of Tui in the 13th century, around 1233.nRestored several times, it preserves a transept that has an image of the Saint at its feet and under the bridge a breastplate of souls that represents the souls in distress.nThere are several legends about this bridge and one of them indicates the miracle that the Saint did in which one day, when he was preaching, a great storm surprised all those who attended and he managed to split the clouds in two separating them so that the water It fell on both sides without anyone getting wet.nThe other legend is about the fertility ritual that according to tradition, the pregnant woman who did not achieve viable children conjured her adverse fate by pouring river water on her belly. To be effective, it had to take place at midnight and the first person to cross the bridge after the spell had to be the magic godfather of the creature.
