 GALICIA GUIDE | Monforte de Lemos 3 | Lugo | Spain
Without question the reason most tourists visit Monforte de Lemos is to see, or stay in, the former "San Vicente" Monastery, now a parador (state run hotel).
The monastery, called "Conxunto Monumental de San Vicente e Parador National de Turismo", is perched at the top of a steep hill in the center of Monforte.
That done, you have seen the monastery and Monforte de Lemos and you have the consolation of knowing that the route back down to town will be easier than the one that led you to your present position.

 The Place
The place is the property of the Marquis of Canillejas, Count of the Vega de Sella and Grandee (peer) of Spain, who descends from the Duque de Estrada family.
There is a place in Galicia, Spain, near Santiago de Compostela, nearer Pontevedra and close to Portugal, that is called "La Estrada." Some people confuse this as the place of origin of the surname, but those who venture there are soon sorry for having wasted their time.
The Count is a Spanish Grandee (a peer) by reason of his title of Marquis of Canillejas, therefore the headpiece, which for counts should normally be directed in a 45° angle to its right, is directed to the front.

In his long life as a Piarist, almost 50 years dedicated to education, he was sent to schools in San Fernando, Guanaboacoa, Getafe, Monforte de Lemos, Celanova, El Escorial and Sanlucar de Barameda.
