'The oldest pilgrimage sites in Spain: the sanctuary of St. Andrew Teixido. Sanctuary of the fisherman apostle, souls and boats to the afterlife. The history and pilgrimage to this shrine goes back centuries and the mists of legend. The current structure dates back to the 15th century, Gothic-Renaissance style, sloping rectangular facade and baroque tower. But legend has it that it was built by the Apostle Andrew, one of Jesus' chosen disciples - '\'first called out'\' who lived in Bethany and was martyred in Patras, a Greek town, the next day on a cross in the shape of a crucifixion cross. It is said that as time went on, seeing that no pilgrims were coming to the church - all were going to the Apostle's tomb in Santiago de Compostela - he complained to the Almighty, who promised him that from that'''very day thousands of devotees would visit his temple, located in front of the vast ocean, whether in life or after death. Thus was born the world-famous phrase: to San Andrés de Teixido, go the dead who were not alive.
