L'albergue de Diomondi, tant attendue, a maintenant ouvert ses portes!

Le petit hameau de Diomondi possède un joyau d'église romane, San Pelagio de Diomondi. C'est un point fort architectural de ce camino. L'église est facile à trouver. Lorsque tu arrives au banc et à l'abri modernes, le Camino commence sa descente. Pour voir l'église, il suffit de rester sur la route pendant quelques mètres. Les têtes de vaches millénaires sculptées au-dessus des portes latérales sont un doux salut aux créatures des champs tout autour. Après de nombreuses années d'échafaudages, le palais épiscopal rattaché à l'église semble avoir été réparé. Nous n'avons cependant aucune information sur d'éventuelles heures de visite.

The Road

Au niveau de l'abri, le Camino quitte la route et tourne à gauche, commençant à descendre les nombreux lacets des codos (coudes) de Belesar, un tronçon de 2,5 km de chaussée abrupte et défoncée, avec des vestiges de l'ancienne voie romaine. Le chroniqueur du 17e siècle de son itinéraire de retour de Santiago sur l'Invierno a noté que le pont et le chemin étaient nommés d'après un capitaine romain nommé Belisario, apparemment chargé de la construction du pont.

Le sentier zigzague de la forêt aux vignobles, jusqu'à la rivière elle-même. Cette descente peut être difficile pour les genoux ; des bâtons de randonnée aideraient beaucoup. Le chemin qui descend jusqu'à la rivière est balisé par les flammes rouges et blanches du GR. Ne t'inquiète pas de l'absence de flèches.

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!
