Muxía, Spain: Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Boat. Originally a pre-Christian Celtic shrine, the Christians built a hermitage on this location at first, and later the existing church in the 17th century. The village of Muxía, on the Northern Atlantic Ocean, is one of the final destinations for pilgrims on the Way of St. James after visiting the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
