Storia

Oseira è difficile da non notare per l'imponente Monasterio de Santa María de Oseira. Vale la pena visitarlo. Costruito nel XII secolo, era originariamente un ordine cistercense di monaci francesi. Rimasero sorprendentemente a lungo ma, come quasi tutti gli altri ordini religiosi, furono espulsi con l'Ordine Reale di Esclusione Ecclesiastica del 1835. Dovette passare quasi un secolo prima che il monastero venisse nuovamente occupato, questa volta (e tuttora) da trappisti (cistercensi della Riforma Rigida).

Il cammino

L'uscita da Oseira non è lungo la strada (anche se i ciclisti potrebbero preferirla per la pendenza più dolce) ma piuttosto su un sentiero ripido adiacente alla strada con i ristoranti.

Passa per le frazioni di Vilarello (2 km), O Outeiro (2,5 km), Carballediña (1,5 km) e A Gouxa (bar) (0,4 km) prima di avvicinarsi all'autostrada e 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.
