History

Klosteret Santa María de Sobrado tiltrækker besøgende fra hele Galicien og har haft et omtumlet liv. Da det blev bygget i år 952, var det dedikeret til San Salvador. I det 12. århundrede var den forladt og blev taget i brug af nogle få fromme grupper, før cistercienserne begyndte at leve som kloster der. Kirken blev tilføjet i slutningen af det 17. århundrede og markerede det højeste punkt. I 1834 blev klosteret, sammen med de fleste klostre i Spanien, frataget sin rigdom ved et kongeligt dekret; en proces, hvor mange skatte blev overført til det offentlige i et forsøg på at betale statsgælden.

The Road

Caminoen forlader Sobrado langs AC-934. Ved den første lille landsby, Ponte Pedra, forlader den vejen ved at dreje til venstre, men drejer så til højre næsten med det samme for at følge en mindre vej. Du vil sno dig gennem landsbyerne Castro og Madelos, før du kommer ind i Corredoiras.

The Santander bank in Sobrado is gone. The cafés and bars in town (and the monastery) accept card, but 99% of the small cafes and bars between Vilalba and Boimorto do not - plan accordingly.

I, along with three other pilgrims, rented an apartment at Apartment Lecer, which overlooks the plaza. I booked it on Booking.com. We each paid €25, for a place that had four private rooms, two bathrooms, and a washer. I had to do a job interview via Zoom while we stayed there. The WiFi was amazing, and the host Stan even managed to find me an iron and an ironing board to iron my only shirt with a collar before the interview. The place was spotless and had a fully functional kitchen. It's a great and affordable alternative to other accommodation in Sobrado.

Abeiro da Loba is better, it is 5 km further than the Monastery. It is at the pilgrim way. It is the best.

Overseen by Brother Lawrence, the Monastery has a fully equipped kitchen with dining space for at least 50. Lacks only a microwave, for heating soup, etc. The albergue was completely renovated during Covid and is quite modern and very comfortable. €8.
