History

Oseira er svær at overse på grund af det truende og massive Monasterio de Santa María de Oseira. Det er et besøg værd. Det blev bygget i det 12. århundrede og var oprindeligt en cistercienserorden af franske munke. De blev her overraskende længe, men som næsten alle andre religiøse ordener blev de fordrevet af den kongelige bekendtgørelse om kirkelig eksklusion fra 1835. Der gik næsten et århundrede, før klosteret igen blev beboet, denne gang (og stadig) af trappister (cisterciensere af den strenge reform).

The Road
Oseira er ikke langs vejen (selvom cyklister måske foretrækker den på grund af den mere jævne stigning), men snarere op ad en stejl sti ved siden af vejen med restauranterne.

Den passerer landsbyerne Vilarello (2 km), O Outeiro (2,5 km), Carballediña (1,5 km) og A Gouxa (bar) (0,4 km), før den nærmer sig motorvejen og Castro-Dozón.

After finding the monastery albergue closed with not contact information (at least none from which anybody replied) I used Booking . com to get a room at Pensión A Casiña D,avoa directly outside the monastery wall.

Quite comfortable, excellent food, and bend over backwards helpful owner.

BUT, not at typical pilgrim prices. If you stay and eat here it will be pricey.

Unless you want to spend a day at the monastery attending services and taking the tour (if you want the tour you need a group — "no solos solo grupos") you can go on without much difficulty to O Castro de Dozon where there is a place to stay called Casa Bubela.

The Monastery albergue is a wonderful place, the hospitaliero present welcomes pilgrims with the greatest kindness.
The room is very well appointed, as are the very modern sanitary facilities.
On the other hand, ABSOLUTELY avoid the bar restaurant which offers overpriced and really bad meals. In addition, the boss hates foreigners...

Fabulous place! Modern, clean & comfortable. With disposable sheets - pity there are no blankets nor kitchen utensils. Cost €10.

The albergue is exceptional—very clean and has washers, dryer, clothesline, and basic kitchen. The cafe a few hundred yards away and just outside the entrance to the monastery and the albergue is amazing. Don’t let the prices freak you out. We ordered rice and beef and it served 5 of us—not 2 as the owner advised. Also had the salad with chicken. The monastery tour should not be missed. You can buy a breakfast kit in the monastery store so you’ll have something to eat before you start walking.

Beautiful location, highly recommend! We were able to watch the monks at prayer. Albergue is very new and clean. Kitchen with stovetop, mini fridge and microwave but no plates or cooking utensils. Only one restaurant that was closed when we were there so we were glad we had brought some food.
