History

Oseira est difficile à manquer pour le Monastère de Santa María de Oseira, imposant et massif. Il vaut vraiment la peine d'être visité. Construit au 12ème siècle, il était à l'origine un ordre cistercien de moines français. Ils sont restés étonnamment longtemps, mais comme presque tous les autres ordres religieux, ils ont été chassés par l'ordre royal d'exclaustration ecclésiastique de 1835. Il fallut attendre près d'un siècle pour que le monastère soit à nouveau occupé, cette fois (et toujours) par des trappistes (cisterciens de la Stricte Réforme).

The Road

La sortie d'Oseira ne se fait pas par la route (même si les cyclistes peuvent la préférer pour sa pente plus douce) mais plutôt par un chemin escarpé adjacent à la route des restaurants.

La sortie d'Oseira ne se fait pas par la route.

Il passe par les hameaux de Vilarello (2km), O Outeiro (2,5k), Carballediña (1,5km), et A Gouxa (bar) (0,4km) avant de s'approcher de l'autoroute et de 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.
