Storia

Il Monastero di Santa María de Sobrado attira visitatori da tutta la Galizia e ha avuto una vita tumultuosa. Quando fu costruito, nel 952, era dedicato a San Salvador. Nel XII secolo fu abbandonata e venne occupata da alcuni gruppi pii prima che i Cistercensi vi iniziassero la vita monastica. La chiesa fu aggiunta alla fine del XVII secolo, segnando il punto più alto. Nel 1834 il monastero, come la maggior parte dei monasteri in Spagna, fu spogliato delle sue ricchezze per decreto reale; un processo che vide molti tesori trasferiti al pubblico dominio nel tentativo di pagare il debito pubblico.

Il cammino

Il Cammino lascia Sobrado lungo la AC-934. Al primo piccolo borgo, Ponte Pedra, lascia la strada girando a sinistra, ma poi gira a destra quasi subito per seguire una strada più piccola. Attraverserai le frazioni di Castro e Madelos, prima di entrare a Corredoiras.

The Santander bank in Sobrado is gone. The cafés and bars in town (and the monastery) accept card, but 99% of the small cafes and bars between Vilalba and Boimorto do not - plan accordingly.

I, along with three other pilgrims, rented an apartment at Apartment Lecer, which overlooks the plaza. I booked it on Booking.com. We each paid €25, for a place that had four private rooms, two bathrooms, and a washer. I had to do a job interview via Zoom while we stayed there. The WiFi was amazing, and the host Stan even managed to find me an iron and an ironing board to iron my only shirt with a collar before the interview. The place was spotless and had a fully functional kitchen. It's a great and affordable alternative to other accommodation in Sobrado.

Abeiro da Loba is better, it is 5 km further than the Monastery. It is at the pilgrim way. It is the best.

Overseen by Brother Lawrence, the Monastery has a fully equipped kitchen with dining space for at least 50. Lacks only a microwave, for heating soup, etc. The albergue was completely renovated during Covid and is quite modern and very comfortable. €8.
