Il primo edificio della città è l'imponente Monasterio de San Xoán Poio. Più avanti, scendendo dal monastero, ci sono diversi bar.

Il cammino

Il Cammino scende dal Monastero e gira a destra in fondo alla collina. Attenzione al traffico, non ci sono barriere e non ci sono troppe frecce. Segui la strada fino al primo incrocio e gira a sinistra per imboccare una strada di campagna più piccola.

Qui c'è una svolta difficile. Poco dopo aver attraversato la strada, tieni d'occhio uno stretto sentiero che sale sul lato sinistro, proprio prima di un piccolo B&B chiamato A Marchanta. Seguilo in salita, poi gira a destra e poi a sinistra al bivio su un piccolo sentiero sterrato.

Questo sentiero ti porta al lungomare e a un grande parco che ospita ogni tipo di celebrazione, non sorprenderti di trovarlo pieno di adolescenti con i postumi di una notte di festa o pieno di roulotte. Le frecce non sono abbondanti, ma tieni l'acqua alla tua sinistra e attraversa l'estremità del parco dove una strada asfaltata ti porterà in salita fino a raggiungere la strada principale.

Questa strada è molto trafficata e le auto parcheggiate creano molti angoli ciechi. Tieni la sinistra il più possibile e presto arriverai 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.
