Resumen
Construido en la Sierra da Capelada, el santuario de San Andrés de Teixido es un importante centro de peregrinaje en el norte de España, ornado con leyendas de almas que se "condenaron" por no haberlo visitado en vida. El complejo ceremonial se encuentra emplazado entre los acantilados más altos de Europa, los cuales son transitados a través de senderos de peregrinaje señalados por mojones y cruceiros. La autora efectuó el acercamiento a pie al santuario, recorriendo las alturas de los acantilados y sus fabulosas vistas panorámicas. Visitó una fuente de agua sagrada y documentó los depósitos de exvotos en una cripta exterior subterránea, así como las leyendas populares entretejidas en torno a San Andrés de Teixido y a la diversidad de miniaturas de pan que los peregrinos llevan como reliquias a sus hogares. Asimismo, compartió la procesión de Corpus Christi, precedida por la celebración eucarística al interior de la iglesia, en la que participaron cófrades, devotos y gaiteros. La tradición de peregrinar con fines religiosos reconoce una antigüedad milenaria en el mundo gallego y se materializa tanto en peregrinajes individuales como en procesiones colectivas y romerías. En las consideraciones del trabajo, se analiza el fenómeno del peregrinaje a San Andrés de Teixido en el contexto de la religiosidad popular gallega, teniendo en cuenta las antiguas prácticas monásticas en las fragas boscosas que flanquean al río Eume y los modernos ritos solsticiales, que incluyen las famosas hogueras de San Juan, en playas sobre el estuario de Pontedeume.
Built in the Sierra da Capelada, the shrine of San Andrés de Teixido is an important pilgrimage center in the north of Spain, adorned with legends of souls that were "condemned" for not having visited it while they were alive. The ceremonial complex is located between the highest cliffs in Europe, which are traveled through pilgrimage trails marked by milestones. The author made the approach on foot to the San Andrés shrine, crossing the heights of the cliffs and enjoying their fabulous panoramic views. She visited a source of sacred water and documented the votive offerings in the outer crypt of the sanctuary, as well as the popular legends woven around the diversity of miniature figurines made of bread, that pilgrims carry as relics to their homes. She participated in the Corpus Christi procession preceded by the Eucharistic celebration inside the church of San Andrés, together with confreres, devotees and bagpipers participated. The tradition of pilgrimage for religious purposes recognizes a millenary antiquity in the Galician world and is materialized both, in individual pilgrimages and in collective processions. In the considerations of the paper, the phenomenon of the pilgrimage to San Andrés de Teixido is analyzed in the context of the popular religiosity of northern Galicia, taking into account the ancient monastic practices in the wooded fragas that flank the Eume river and the modern summer solstice rites, which include the famous San Juan bonfires, on beaches on the Pontedeume estuary.
