Storia

Si dice che il nome della città e la sua importanza come centro religioso risalgano entrambi al IV secolo. Fu allora che la Vergine apparve nella palude (juncal) lì vicino. Fu eretta una Ermita e nei secoli successivi fu costruito e ampliato il Monastero. I monaci che vi risiedevano offrivano rifugio ai pellegrini.

Il cammino

Dopo aver superato la chiesa, il Cammino gira a destra per seguire la strada in direzione di Salguieros, ma abbandona rapidamente la strada per seguire una strada secondaria e un sentiero che scende fino al Río Arnoia (0,9 km). Si sale poi fino ad A Pousa lungo un altro sentiero che si stacca dalla strada poco dopo aver attraversato il fiume.

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..
