San Román da Retorta is a small village in the municipality of Guntín that holds great historical importance on the Primitivo Way. It sits on the route of an ancient Roman road, and its name "retorta" refers to the curves of the old path. For pilgrims, this stop is a journey through time, a place to connect with travelers who have traversed the same route for centuries. Despite modest services, it offers an albergue and the necessary tranquility for a deep rest. Its Romanesque church and rural surroundings in Lugo province create an atmosphere of authenticity and peace, ideal for reflection before the final stages that lead to the convergence with the French Way in Melide.
