Camino Day 21 - Samos

An easy day today, as we have decided not to do rest days but short days instead.
So today was just 10kms but through the most peaceful and beautiful countryside I've seen.
This is an alternate route, so most of the pilgrims turn right from Triacastela, we turned left to Samos.
This town is home to a 1500 year old monastery that is still in use today and has been serving pilgrims for over 1000 years. The albergue is by donation and sleeps about 70. I stayed here last time but this time we went for a bit more upmarket digs :)
We did a tour of the monastery, and was given the history and walked through the internals. Amazing.
Beck for a pilgrims meal and an early night!Read more
