20의 아라야 데 오카가지 명소 & 주요 장소

What a shame, everything is neglected.

A nice area for activities.

Collection of painted tree stumps, totems, and other artworks after the climb up through the forest, and before you reach the Spanish Civil War monument at the top. There is usually one or two mobile refreshment and gift vendors nearby.

The abbey complex is a dream: 13th century and really well preserved. Unfortunately, the interior has little spiritual impact due to the latticework and the large burial chamber in the center of the room.

Signage on the Camino de Santiago is essential for pilgrims. Yellow arrows: These arrows will guide you throughout the entire route. They indicate the direction to follow, especially at crossroads. The yellow color is due to the contribution of the parish priest Elías Valiña, a key figure in the resurgence of the Camino de Santiago in the 20th century. Cairns or milestones: These concrete blocks include an arrow, a yellow shell on a blue background and the distance in kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. You will find them every 500 meters in Galicia. Scallop shells: In addition to being drawn on the markers, scallop shells are distributed throughout the Camino. They are universal symbols and have been carried by pilgrims for centuries. The open part of the shell indicates the direction towards Santiago. Good way! 🚶‍♂️🌟

In the middle of this long path through the woods there are two mobile refreshment stations about 1 km apart. If at least one is occupied, everything is fine. And if you miss the first one, you are guaranteed to stop at the second one. Fun, creative and well-fed!

The monastery is an interesting place to spend the night, and has a very small bar and café, but the albergue El Descanso de San Juan by the side of the monastery has lovely pizzas

The area used to be impassable and feared due to gangs of robbers. The monastery offers a pilgrims' hostel.
