Munitibar

History

På klosterets vestport er der et relief af en ørn, der bærer et kranium, ikke et traditionelt motiv for nogen bygning, men et motiv, der illustrerer historien om klosterets tidlige dage. På Kristi Himmelfartsdag i 968 fejrede beboerne i den nærliggende Munitibar (den næste by på caminoen) messe, da en ørn fløj ind i en åben grav og stak af med kraniet. De sporede fuglen til dette sted, hvor den slap kraniet fri. Da de genkendte guddommeligheden, blev der bygget en kirke, som voksede til en by, og i det 14. århundrede var arbejdet på klosteret begyndt.

The Road

Efter klosteret drejer caminoen til højre og ind i skoven igen.

we had a great experience- nothing creepy! great food, great home brew and a wonderful welcoming from the monks who were so kind and gave us first aid and scallop shells. if you stay for longer in the morning they will also give you a monks blessing! buen camino!

They will find a place to sleep for everyone who comes. You can also camp in the gardens. Really nice dinner of pasta with tomato sauce and vegetables and baguette with jam for breakfast. The place is beautiful and calm and perfect to relax if you need a little break.

Great albergue at the monastery with great hospitality, we felt so welcome! Be there in time to make sure you get a bed. We ate dinner together and got a pilgrim blessing from the monks. They also had local produced beer for sale. Good washing and drying clothes possibilities. Donativo based.

Great albergue, highly recommend. Am a solo female and had no encounters with a touchy monk, seems the problem may have been resolved.

I stayed there last night. Asked about Ramon. He is a 82 year old monk with dementia.

Saw reviews here, tried to stay together but one girl was alone arriving and met old man asking for a hug. His name is Ramon, white man in 70s. Sent info and pic to tourist office in Deba, hoping they can resolve. Still a special place to stay - dinner was great, by donation. Bathrooms are accessed from outside.

Wonderful place to stay. The monks are helpful. You get an insight in the rhythm of monastic life. Clean and good communal meal.

The monks are simply charming. We arrived in a downpour and they took the time to show us around.
Vespers at 7.30
Dinner served in our accommodation at 8pm
Benediction and pilgrim blessing at 9pm

The food was good and wholesome, washed down with wine bought from the monastery shop.

The whole experience was up lifting and more than I could hope for.
