Gruta de Lourdes

We continue our tour of the old village of Vivero leaving the Convent of the Conception to the Porta da Vila, but we found the so-called Grotto of Lourdes. It's right at the foot of the tower of the convent, a square which is accessed through a gate, but it was open. There is a chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, which was constructed in the image and likeness of the one in France. She was surrounded by candles and offerings (called ex-votos): They were human body parts! Appear to have dismembered doll shop to hang there in pieces. There heads, legs, arms ... Actually gave me quite an impression, but then I found out that is very common in Galicia (and then I saw him in more places), and they are made of wax.
