Saint Amaro was a Catholic abbot and sailor whose legendary travels across the Atlantic Ocean are recorded in the *Periplus of Amaro*. According to tradition, he sought an earthly paradise and, following divine guidance, navigated through various islands and seas to reach his goal. While his legend incorporates elements of Celtic voyages, historical figures such as a thirteenth-century French penitent or Saint Maurus may have inspired his story. He is commemorated as a pilgrim who eventually found a beautiful, gem-filled paradise before returning to Earth.
