Saint Nicholas Church
When the Belesar reservoir was built in 1962, the town moved to neighboring Monte do Cristo. Some of the most important buildings, both civil and religious, were rebuilt there; especially the church of San Nicolás, in Romanesque style built by the Hospitaller Order of San Juan de Jerusalén, whose stones were numbered and reassembled in their current location.

In the seasons when the level of the swamp drops, the remains of the old buildings, the boardwalk and the primitive bridge are still visible.

In addition to being known for its landscape, Puertomarín also has very good brandy, which has received numerous awards. On Easter day the brandy is made there, in the square in front of the church, at the "Festa do Augardente".
