El primer edificio del pueblo es el imponente Monasterio de San Xoán Poio. Más adelante, al descender del monasterio, hay varios bares.

The Road

El camino desciende desde el Monasterio y gira a la derecha al pie de la colina. Cuidado con el tráfico aquí, no hay barreras ni demasiadas flechas. Sigue la carretera hasta el primer cruce y gira a la izquierda para coger un camino rural más pequeño.

Aquí hay un giro complicado. Poco después de cruzar la carretera, estate atento a un estrecho sendero que gira hacia arriba a tu izquierda; está justo antes de un pequeño B&B llamado A Marchanta. Síguelo hacia arriba, luego gira a la derecha, y después a la izquierda en la bifurcación por un pequeño camino de tierra.

Este camino te lleva a la orilla del mar y a un gran parque que acoge todo tipo de celebraciones, no te sorprendas si lo encuentras lleno de adolescentes con resaca de una noche de fiesta o repleto de caravanas. Las flechas no son abundantes aquí, pero mantén el agua a tu izquierda y cruza hasta el otro extremo del parque, donde una carretera asfaltada te lleva cuesta arriba para unirte a la carretera principal.

Esta carretera está muy transitada y los coches aparcados crean muchos ángulos muertos. Mantente a la izquierda lo mejor que puedas y pronto llegarás a Combarro.

This is spectacular. Spend the six euros, pause for a visit, take an hour for prayer and worship. The statues and images of St James, of the Mother of God with the crown of thorns and the three nails, of St Benedict, of St Michael Archangel with his foot on the neck of the dragon will inspire your pilgrimage.

The room was peaceful and comfortable, and the shower was my favorite yet on the Camino! A place of comfort before climbing to Armenteira.

I was surprised the app didn’t suggest the monastery. It is gorgeous and totally worth the 2.50 entrance. It is much better than the monastery in Armenteira.

It's one of the most stunning monasteries I've ever seen, highly recommend a visit.

Camino de Sant…

I walked from Vigo, through the busy streets of Pontevedra across the bridge and up to the Monesterio. I had written to them and they offered me a room at a pilgrim rate that included breakfast.
There is a chapel in the hospederia, Mass at 9 am daily. The high altar is stunning. Daily Mass is at 20:00. After the long walk, I was grateful for food for the journey.
I was received with love and hospitality.
I stayed an additional night in order to spend time at the museum. I learned going into Combarro was not for me. On this journey I am not a tourist, I am a pilgrim. The chapel is open all day and the high altar is open during museum hours. I regret not spending time in adoration. Now that I know better, I will do better.
I’m learning that I am always a pilgrim, now and until I reach my eternal home.
