Upstream of the Nonaya, Salas is a town divided in two by the river. To the left of the riverbed is the old town, the Valdés palace, the tower and the collegiate church; and, to the right, some modern-style houses. Through one of its streets, you come out to the pre-Romanesque church of San Martín. After a short slope and passing through a gate, the church, the teixu and the cemetery are found together, looking mutely at Salas from the hill on which they sit. The church of San Martín, with a single rectangular nave with masonry walls, is a relic because pre-Romanesque columns and tombstones with valuable recordings and epigraphs have been found, which can be seen in the museum in the town's tower. Next to it, the cemetery is located, very careful, with very neat black and white tombstones; and accompanying the church and cemetery, a century-old yew tree raises its stature to the Salense sky. It is fifteen meters high and has a perimeter of six. The crown of the ancient specimen casts a long shadow over the nearest graves. This San Martín is a beautiful and historical corner, which can go unnoticed by the visitor and the pilgrim, who follows their steps towards Santiago. Therefore, we must emphasize the importance of this simple place, which is also a privileged viewpoint of the town and its surroundings.

It's beautiful, it's a shame it's abandoned.
