The monastery of San Xulian de Samos is a place of peace and contemplation but it is also an extraordinary meeting place for pilgrims and cyclists.

French Way of Santiago

One of the oldest monasteries in the West, dating back to the 6th century and the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region of Lugo. Its large cloister is the largest in Spain, and the complex is impressive both for its size and its history linked to the Camino de Santiago.
Arriving via the detour from the French Way is a gift: a peaceful stretch, with a river and picture-perfect vegetation. However, once you leave, you have to climb back… and your legs remember.
