This stone cross is located in a unique natural space, on the top of mountains known by the name of “A Farrapa” and at the point called “O Fiouco”. It’s very original because of its building and the surrounding environment. It seems to serve as a framework or boundary between the parishes of San Bartolome de Cadavedo (Pastoriza) and San Pedro de Argomoso (Mondonedo) and has spectacular views.
