Grottoof Lourdes: made in the likeness of the one in France

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.
