It was an obligatory stop on the sea route to Santiago, linking the city of the Apostle St. James with Finisterre. There are numerous legends related to the Jacobean tradition, such as the one that says that the disciples of the Apostle St. James came running from the north, as they could not find who had taken the decapitated body of their master. Behind them, the Roman legionaries tried to hunt them down. The Christians crossed Ponte Maceira and saw how, suddenly, as the Romans did so, the bridge collapsed and the persecuted managed to escape thanks to this "divine" intervention.
