Storia

Lavacolla è uno dei paesi col nome dalle origini più discusse del cammino. Le interpretazioni variano dal noioso “campo ai piedi della collina” al più profano “strofinati lo scroto”. La versione che raccoglie più consensi vede i pellegrini bagnarsi in questo fiume prima di entrare nella Cattedrale.

Il cammino

Se siete scesi dalle scale per fare una capatina in uno dei bar del paese, giratevi e risalite i gradini verso la Iglesia de Benaval. Il cammino prosegue verso destra per poi scendere e attraversare la strada, sulle strisce pedonali. Continuate lungo la strada, oltre il famoso fiume (vedi inserto qui sotto). L’ultima collina è proprio di fronte a voi e se volete essere meticolosi e rispettare la tradizione, adesso dovreste iniziare a correre. Si dice che il primo del gruppo che arriva a Monte de Gozo sia autorizzato a farsi chiamare Re. Non sottovalutate l’importanza di una simile onoreficenza.

This is absolutely not even close to the last hill. Walked 4K more and already several much steeper hills!

I wanted to go to the famous bakery but it was closed on a Tuesday at 1pm, so disappointed 🥲

What a beautiful albergue! Everything immaculately clean. Beds are private, each one with a light and a socket for charging. Real linen already on beds. Areas for cooking, doing laundry, and a sitting area are so well-designed and welcoming. Games and books provide activities for rainy afternoons. The newly opened restaurant next door was excellent. Plus the owner, Alsira, is such a wonderful hostess! She has created such an inviting space for those last night on the Camino. I HIGHLY recommend this as your last evening.

Very unfriendly staff. Suggest eating elsewhere.

I stayed here before getting a bus out to Samos. It was an easy walk from the airport. Would be a good place to stay at the end of your Way before you get to SdeC. A great pension. Lovely people and a good price.

New Albergue opened August 2023, beautiful, real sheets, big lockers and each bunk has privacy curtains, lights and electric. Great common space and garden. Lovely owner. A pity it doesn't show yet on the app. Can book via booking.com where it's rated 9.3.

Thoroughly recommend for a comfortable nights stay before the 10km walk to Santiago. There’s a cross country short cut to get you back onto the Camino trail in the morning. Beautiful accommodation, very friendly staff and although the main host spoke good English, he was very patient with our Spanish as he could see we were learning. Beautiful chapel on site.
