History

Oseira es difícil de pasar por alto por el imponente y macizo Monasterio de Santa María de Oseira. Merece la pena visitarlo. Construido en el siglo XII, originalmente fue una orden cisterciense de monjes franceses. Permanecieron durante un tiempo sorprendentemente largo, pero, como casi todas las demás órdenes religiosas, fueron expulsados por la Real Orden de Exclaustración Eclesiástica de 1835. Tuvo que pasar casi un siglo antes de que el monasterio volviera a ser ocupado, esta vez (y todavía) por trapenses (cistercienses de la Reforma Estricta).

The Road

La salida de Oseira no es por la carretera (aunque los ciclistas pueden preferirla por la pendiente más suave), sino por una pista empinada adyacente a la carretera con los restaurantes.

Pasa las aldeas de Vilarello (2 km), O Outeiro (2,5 km), Carballediña (1,5 km) y A Gouxa (bar) (0,4 km) antes de acercarte a la autopista y a 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.
