Det længe ventede albergue Diomondi er nu åbnet!

Den lille flække Diomondi har en juvel af en romansk kirke, San Pelagio de Diomondi. Den er et arkitektonisk højdepunkt på denne Camino. Kirken er let at finde. Når du kommer til den moderne bænk og shelter, begynder Caminoen sin nedstigning. For at se kirken skal du bare blive på vejen et par meter. De tusind år gamle ko-hoveder, der er udskåret over sidedørene, er en sød hilsen til dyrene på markerne rundt omkring. Efter mange år med stilladser ser det biskoppelige palads, der er knyttet til kirken, ud til at være blevet repareret. Vi har dog ingen oplysninger om eventuelle besøgstider.

The Road

Ved shelteret forlader Caminoen vejen og drejer til venstre og begynder at gå ned ad de mange sving i codos (albuerne) i Belesar, en 2,5 km lang strækning med stejle, ødelagte fortove med rester af den gamle romerske vej. En krønikeskriver fra det 17. århundrede noterede på sin vej hjem fra Santiago på Invierno, at broen og stien var opkaldt efter en romersk kaptajn ved navn Belisario, som tilsyneladende stod for opførelsen af broen.

Stien zigzagger fra skoven ind i vinmarkerne og ned til selve floden. Denne nedstigning kan være hård for knæene; vandrestave ville være en stor hjælp. Stien ned til floden er markeret med GR's røde og hvide mærker. Du skal ikke bekymre dig om manglen på pile.

Before you come to Diomondi, as there is no food options, grab the lunch menu del dia at Torre Vilariño, it starts at 1:30pm. the lentils were the best I’ve had so far on the Camino!

What a wonderful stay . Very modern, yet retaining the beauty of the 12 th Century Church , which the Albergue is behind , but part of . Only three Pilgrims last night , which is such a shame that Pilgrims are not experiencing this stay . They had the heaters on for us , so even though we only carry sleeping liners , we were all very warm . There is a grill , hot plates and microwave, so we just bought a bread , sardines, tomatoes and cheese . Chocolate for desert , so very light to carry . Only 8 kms then to Chantanda for breakfast.

You must bring food and utensils, but this 54 bed municipal albergue is awesome. It’s clean, beautiful and an experience in itself just staying there. The night I was there, there was just one other person.

A good stopping point for the next day is near Penasillás, Hotel Vilaseco. 10 miles, a nice hike through Chantada. There are single rooms and dorms plus a restaurant

I can only confirm this, the accommodation is good but there's no utensils in the kitchen. However if you take a good lunch on your way here at Torre Vilariño, you should be fine with some snacks you bring with you.
There is a possibility to wash your clothes now here, didn't need it but I was asked if I wanted to wash. Also there's municipal wifi network, although you can't register with foreign phone number unfortunately.
This albergue doesn't seem to be popular since I was the only one in the whole building, and it was the same with another pilgrim on the previous day.

Good facilities and comfortable bed. But no food anywhere near. Host told us to bring it with us, both dinner and breakfast. No coffee, no kitchen pans or utensils. We were also very cold. Hope this new albergue can serve others well!

Catina de Mean will pick up pilgrims for lunch or dinner which is served in a 200 year old farm house-locally sourced ingredients. Meals are traditional of what would have been served in farm house restaurants across Spain in years past. Owners offer amazing hospitality! Highly recommended!
