Le bar O Cruceiro ouvre à 6 heures du matin, et il y a une magnifique fontaine dans l'aire de pique-nique. La petite chapelle ici a un timbre, qui est donné par son gardien aveugle avec un peu d'aide de ta part.

Les terres de cette région sont pauvres pour l'agriculture car le sol est riche en quartz et en feldspath. La crête vers laquelle tu marches est la ligne de partage des eaux entre le río Miño (derrière toi, qui se jette dans l'Atlantique près de Guarda) et le río Ulla (devant toi, et qui se jette dans l'Atlantique près de Padron). La région est recouverte d'une épaisse couche de genêts.

History

L'année 820 a été importante pour Ventas de Naron, et pour l'Espagne chrétienne. Pour Ventas, ce fut le lieu d'une bataille entre les forces musulmanes et chrétiennes. Les forces musulmanes visaient à étendre leur territoire vers le nord et les chrétiens, menés par le roi Alphonse II le chaste asturien, les ont renvoyées. Pour l'Espagne chrétienne, c'est aussi l'année où les ossements de notre apôtre préféré ont été redécouverts. Peu de temps après, ce même Alphonse deviendrait le premier pèlerin (le primitivo), vérifierait les reliques, construirait une église pour les abriter et déclencherait une série d'événements qui verraient la défaite des dernières forces musulmanes.

Be sure to visit the small chapel and get a stamp from the blind caretaker. You will need to help him with the stamp. If you are religious, there is a font of holy water for which you can bless yourself. It is beautiful.

We woke up 4am in the dorm with the bed full of bedbugs. We immediately left the room and took our stuff outside. While sitting outside and making a plan, everyone else in the room was also leaving. They all had bedbugs in their beds.

We considered waiting until the owner was showing up in morning. But based on a google review we found about the owner not taking it seriously, we preferred to walk and have time to get everything fixed when when we arrived.

Bedbugs!!! Thankfully upon entering the dorm and seeing the low standard of cleanliness I decided to do an inspection. Room was obviously unclean, dirty dusty corners of rooms and bed frames. The mattresses had fabric covers stitched onto them presumably to stop people from inspecting the mattresses. Found dead bedbug pretty quickly. Also evidence of recent bedbugs on pillows. Told the owner and showed him a photo and he tried to reassure me it was ‘just one’ and that they use pest control.
He offered to change room to another building that definitely did not have bed bugs. If you know you’ve had a recent problem, then why not use that building whilst you sort the problem?
Left without a refund to find another albergue. Not worth the trouble.

Lovely stay away from the masses. The little hamlet and albergue offers all that you need. Goos beda & bedding. Friendly staff. Pilgrims menu was sufficient. Best lentil soup I have had in quite a while.
