History

Es heißt, dass der Name der Stadt und ihre Bedeutung als religiöses Zentrum auf das 4. Damals erschien die Jungfrau Maria im nahe gelegenen Sumpf (juncal). Eine Ermita wurde errichtet, und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten wurde das Kloster gebaut und erweitert. Die Mönche dort boten den Pilgern Unterschlupf.

The Road

Nachdem wir die Kirche passiert haben, biegt der Camino nach rechts ab, um der Straße in Richtung Salguieros zu folgen, verlässt aber schnell die Straße, um einer Nebenstraße und einem Weg hinunter zum Río Arnoia zu folgen (0,9 km). Dann geht es hinauf nach A Pousa auf einem anderen Weg, der kurz nach der Überquerung des Flusses von der Straße abzweigt.

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..
