route 13 A Sionlla – Agualada – O Carballal – Lavacolla

Located in the village of Lavacolla, within the parish of San Paio, this granite chapel was built in the nineteenth century and is intimately linked to the route of the French Way, serving as one of the last resting points for pilgrims approaching the Cathedral of Santiago.
With a classicist design, its floor plan is rectangular and has a small attached sacristy. Surrounded by a natural and traditional environment – with a fountain, transept, mill and bridge – it forms a picturesque heritage complex that brings serenity and beauty to the place.
The feast of Saint Lucia is celebrated on December 13, related to light and the winter solstice. In addition, in May the neighbors organize another party with mass, procession, traditional music and popular verbena, reinforcing the social and spiritual role of the chapel in the community of Lavacolla.
