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.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

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.

Didn't stay there because of the comments with the old man, and a peregrina told me the day after that the same happened to her.
Apart from that, it looks lovely and some people said they had a wonderful communal dinner and there was a mass for peregrinos as well.
Probably around 30-40 people stayed there.

Also had similar encounter with the old man who appeared to me to be a monk covered with black anorak. Quite disconcerting. I'm 71!

We missed this pace and stayed in Markina instead but honestly its so picturesque we would probably have chosen to stay here instead. Seems like it was open as other pilgrims we met stayed here.

I got here early because of an injury hoping to stay the night and had a very unsettling experience with an older man on the property. I thought he lived/worked there but now I’m not sure he did. After greeting each other he kept telling me to hug him and would not let go of my arms. It looked like a lovely place but I was definitely not staying there alone after that. Bummer to have experiences like that on the Camino.
