History

Le Monastère de Santa María de Sobrado attire des visiteurs de toute la Galice et a eu une vie tumultueuse. Lorsqu'il a été construit en l'an 952, il était dédié à San Salvador. Au XIIe siècle, elle est abandonnée et sera reprise par quelques groupes pieux avant que les cisterciens n'y entament une vie monastique. L'église a été ajoutée à la fin du 17ème siècle, marquant le point le plus haut. En 1834, le monastère, comme la plupart des monastères d'Espagne, a été dépouillé de ses richesses par décret royal ; un processus qui a vu un grand nombre de trésors transférés au domaine public dans un effort pour rembourser la dette publique.

The Road

Le camino part de Sobrado le long de l'AC-934. Au premier petit hameau, Ponte Pedra, il quitte la route en tournant à gauche, mais tourne presque immédiatement à droite pour suivre une route plus petite. Tu serpenteras à travers les hameaux de Castro, et de Madelos, avant d'entrer dans Corredoiras.

Nice cozy bunks with own plug and light, locker! Great kitchen and dishes for communal cooking! Supermarkets and dinner and breakfast options at earlier pilgrim dining times!!!

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.
