Cornellana se trouve au confluent du río Narcea et du río Nonaya, ce qui en faisait un endroit stratégique approprié pour construire un monastère. Dédié à San Salvador, il reste la pièce maîtresse de la ville et c'est là que se trouve l'albergue municipal.

Fiesta

San Juan est fêté le 24 juin, et Nuestra Señora le 15 août.

 

La fête est célébrée le 24 juin.

History

Un monastère se dresse ici depuis près de 1 000 ans. Exploité dans les siècles précédents en tant qu'ordre clunisien. À l'époque, c'était l'un des monastères les plus importants des Asturies et une étape clé pour les pèlerins le long du Camino Primitivo. Il reste un monastère actif, bien que de nature beaucoup plus petite et bénédictine.

The Road

Le camino quitte la ville par la route située derrière le monastère. Les flèches sont faiblement peintes ici. Il suffit de suivre la route à gauche du monastère, et de tourner à droite au premier carrefour pour suivre la limite de propriété derrière le monastère et en montant.

If you are a group of up to 4 looking for an alternative private place to stay, I can recommend the 'Appartamentos Puerta de Occidental'. 80 euro, 2 doublebeds, kitchen. Can be booked on Booking. Quite new, clean. Top for appartments have only weak WiFi

If you keep going along the mainstreet approx. 150 m instead of following the Camino in Corellano, you will find an excellent fountain to fill your water bottle.

Such kind people, and such a beautiful church, there is a kitchen you can cook in and the local store will have food you can buy for it. Nice courtyard inside with lots of flowers a place to do your washing and rest your legs. Absolutely amazing. We were fortunate to have a little tour of the church after hours by one of the caretakers who shared its history. Such a treat.

If you decide to stop for lunch or a rest at the bars in Cornellana. Be aware that the shell and yellow arrows pointing to the monastery and the Camino are on the other side of the road embedded in the side of a building. It’s very easy to miss the side street that leads to the monastery (and another steep asphalt climb)

On your way into Cornellana there is a beautiful, new albergue called Roca Madre. The hosts are beautiful and kind and the facilities are all new. Worth stopping here!
