Pico Sacro

Boqueixón, Spain, Spain

Pico Sacro is a distinctive quartz mountain summit rising to 533 meters in Boqueixón municipality, A Coruña province, Galicia, northwestern Spain, known for its pyramid-like shape visible across much of the region.

Linked to ancient legends including Queen Lupa's cave where a dragon guards hell's entrance and a key episode in the Apostle James's body transfer to Santiago de Compostela, the site features a 12th-century chapel, remnants of a medieval castle destroyed in the 15th-century Irmandiño revolts, and a mysterious trench called Rúa da Raíña Lupa possibly from Roman mining.

Popular for hiking via a 2.4 km trail from Outeiro, it offers panoramic Ulla valley views guiding Vía da Prata pilgrims, with an interpretation center nearby highlighting its geological, mythological, and Jacobean significance.
