Beautiful baroque church, a stop to pause 🤙

After the renovation, the Albergue in the monastery is actually once again a must on the Camino del Norte. But if you want to take the alternative route to O Pedrouzo to save yourself a day on the overcrowded Camino Frances, I recommend the Eco-Albergue Abeiro da Loba in Madelos.

Take a break, pause and maybe give your legs a refreshment 🤙

Quiet place to take a break during the routes in the area.

Coming from the lake, this is the first view of the large monastery complex

Large complex that reached its peak in the s. XV and XVI. Abandoned in the last century, it has been re-inhabited and restored since the end of the 1950s. The current church is Baroque, from the seventeenth century. Highlights include the chapels of the Madalena and the Rosary, and the Renaissance sacristy (work of Juan de Herrera). The three cloisters, that of the inn, that of the processions and the great, the chapter house, the spectacular kitchen and the dining room, complete the main rooms.

The essential detail of these granaries – which are always deliberately built on stilts – is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the upper end of the supporting columns. This special feature of the construction for the "Horreos" was of existential importance in ancient times: these elements represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as rats or mice, and thus protect the harvest from these uninvited guests.

wonderful monastery where you can spend the night in the hostel
