History

On dit que le nom de la ville, et sa proéminence en tant que centre religieux, remontent tous deux au 4ème siècle. C'est alors que la Vierge est apparue dans le marais (juncal) situé à proximité. Une Ermita fut érigée et, au cours des siècles suivants, le monastère fut construit et agrandi. Les moines qui s'y trouvaient offraient un abri aux pèlerins.

The Road

Après avoir passé l'église, le camino tourne à droite pour suivre la route vers Salguieros, mais quitte rapidement la route pour suivre une route secondaire et un chemin qui descend jusqu'au Río Arnoia (0,9 km). Il monte ensuite jusqu'à A Pousa par un autre chemin qui se détache de la route peu après avoir traversé la rivière.

We enjoyed a delicious menu del dia at Bar Guede today. The host was polite, and accommodated our little Spanish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this bar

The host at this restaurant was incredibly rude and unaccommodating to us foreigner pilgrims. After he dismissively explained the menu in Spanish (which I do speak some), we had some confusion about what was being offered (because it was entirely different from the photos on the Google business listing) and thought we’d see if any other places nearby had more options. We quickly realized there were not many other places to eat and came back, but he turned us away and would not serve us food or let us sit back down. I tried to explain that we were sorry for the misunderstanding and he just pointed to the door saying there’s no food for us here. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. We ended up being served delicious Spanish style hamburgers by a very kind woman at Bar Copas just up the street, which had a much more welcoming atmosphere.

This albergue is clean, but somewhat disappointing, I stayed here two years ago and just recently, for an albergue on the Sanabres way , it has become the most expensive albergue on the Sanabres from Zamorra. The vast mojority are under 10 euros, most being 6 euros. Disappointing price hike..
