History
There were settlements of Castro culture, such as the fort of Vilabol, Vilaesteva and Quintá. Located here is the Roman bridge of Ponte Naviae along the road from Braga to Astorga. On the road leading to Castile, the hardest part of the climb to Piedrafita began here. This entry to Galicia was defended by the Doncos tower and castles of Doiras and Valcarce. In the fourteenth century, Doncos was property of higher elder in Galicia named Garcia Rodríguez de Valcarce. In the fifteenth century Doncos belonged to the Earl of Ayala and Countess of Monterrey. But in 1603, when it was owned by Fernando de Toledo, it was already an abandoned tower.
The ecclesiastical advantage belonged to the house and lordship of Tores, possession of the Marquis of Camarasa. It seems that in the place of Santo André was a hermitage, converted to a monastery and quickly disappeared.
During the War of Independence of Spain, French troops burned Doncos and other sites as well. In 1835, neighbors formed a party of volunteers that prosecuted the Carlists.
