Pico Sacro is a summit in the central Galician Massif and the municipality of Boqueixón.
It is known for its peculiar shape and a legend about apostle James, son of Zebedee. In galician mythology a tomb for the apostle was to be constructed at the summit, until it was known that a dragon lived at that place.
