Beade is a small village with no pilgrim services. The Mosteiro de Santa María de Beade, a former Cistercian monastery, is the notable landmark — its church has an ornate baroque retablo. The village sits among vineyards of the Ribeiro denomination, and the monastery's monks were once significant wine producers themselves.
History
The Mosteiro de Santa María de Beade was founded in the 12th century and passed through Benedictine and Cistercian hands before the dissolution of the monasteries in the 19th century. The monastery's connection to local wine production stretches back centuries.
