1 A Condomiña We are going to the bridge of A Condomiña. There is a small park on one side of the bridge where we´re going to play "Watch your step." Everybody is going to have a balloon tied onto each ankle. Then, the players need to try and pop the other player's balloons by stepping on them, without getting their own balloons popped. If both of your balloons get popped, you lose. (It takes 10 minutes for the explanation and about 20 minutes to play the game). 42,850000000 -8,633300000

Magdalena's Chapel
Structure
Magdalena's Chapel is located in Milladoiro, Galicia. This chapel had its origins in the X or XI century but has been greatly modified afterwards, so nowadays no elements from that period survive. Magdalena's Chapel it's dedicated to Santa María Magdalena because she's the patron saint of Milladoiro. The chapel is a part of the portuguese trail. Due to its location on a hill, this chapel was the point where the pilgrims saw the towers of the cathedral for first time. The name Milladoiro comes from the galician word "humilladoiro". In Milladoiro there was one "humilladoiro" that pointed to the pilgrims that their goal was close, (this means that the cathedral was close). The word "humilladoiro" also means "become humble buckskin the apostle Santiago". We found the information in this pages: http://patrimoniogalego.net/index.php/50575/2013/10/capela-da-madalena-4/ https://confrariadamadalena.wordpress.com/historia-do-milladoiro/ http://www.upmilladoiro.org/iglesia-de-santa-maria-magdalena-2/ http://www.blogs.elcorreogallego.es/monograficos/catedral/ecg/un-total-9-255-peregrinos-pasaron-capilla-magdalena-milladoiro/idEdicion-2015-10-27/idNoticia-960401/
