Vilarmaior
An inland municipality in the Betanzos comarca. Known for Igrexa de Santa María de Doroña.
A small rural council on the edge of the Betanzos region, of fields, woods and rivers. Its gem is the Romanesque church of Santa María de Doroña (c. 1162), with an Agnus Dei over the tympanum; it also keeps petroglyphs — especially at Torres — and old watermills by the river Lambre. It celebrates San Ramón de Doroña in late August.
