History

According to old documents, this parish was called Perros and changed its name when Galician place names were turned into Spanish, since it had nothing to do with dogs (perros in Spanish). Its church keeps some Romanesque remains from the first half of the 12th century, among them the triumphal arch leading to the chancel and the corbels that support the eaves of the roof.
