Afstikker til Vilar de Donas og La Iglesia de El Salvador

Tur til Vilar de Donas og La Iglesia de El Salvador

Når du har passeret baren Portos, skal du dreje til højre ad en grusvej. Der er en forgrening efter 500 meter, hold til venstre og fortsæt ligeud over N-547. Til kirken og tilbage er der 4,5 km.

Der tilbydes guidede ture af en lokal, og i nogle tilfælde også når kirken ellers er lukket. De officielle åbningstider er:

Vinter (november til marts): 12-17:30 lukket mandag

Sommer (april til oktober): 11-14 & 16-20 lukket mandage

Kirken blev givet til Santiago-ordenen under påskud af, at galiciske medlemmer af ordenen skulle begraves her. Freskerne i apsis skildrer lignelsen om de 10 jomfruer og er i bemærkelsesværdig stand i betragtning af, at den stammer fra begyndelsen af det 15. århundrede.

Updated hours for Vilar Das Donas 9/9 to 30/9/2025

The church was closed during these hours today. A local directed us to the caretakers house and he opened the church and provided a lovely tour which is one of the highlights of our camino so far.

The caretaker lives in the white house with the red roof across from the cemetery. His name is Jesus and he is the most lovely man and a fantastic tour guide.

The church is open from 2 PM to 6 PM. If you enjoy medieval architecture, an additional hour-long walk is definitely worth it.

Camino de Sant…

The detour to Vilar De Donas is worth it if you plan on seeing the church and its inside. This requires you to reach out to one of the villagers. Opposite to the church and a little uphill lives a very friendly elderly man, who has the key to the church and is very happy to give you a tour. Be aware, he only speaks Spanish. I hardly speak any Spanish, but his excitement for the symbols in the architecture is contagious and thanks to communication by „foot and hand“ I understood a few things. Either way, it’s a nice trip and a special stamp to have. See link below for more information:
