About
San Andrés de Teixido is a revered pilgrimage site perched on the dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic in the municipality of Cedeira, Galicia. The shrine traces its origins back to the 12th century, with the current stone structure erected in 1789 under the design of Miguel López de la Peña. Visitors are drawn by the holy well whose waters are said to have healing powers, the modest yet evocative chapel, and the breathtaking panoramic views of the Rías Altas coastline.
