Camino Portugues

I was very lucky to get a room at the monastery. Once I decided to do the variante, this was the first place I tried to reserve. How often do you get a chance to stay overnight at a 12th-century building?! The rooms are modest but very clean and have everything you need. The wifi is pretty good, and there is a cooling fan inside. The parador in pontevedra pales in comparison to what the nuns provide here. 😃 It is also fully booked, so even in the slow season, it's best to reserve.

They have one sister who speaks English and she is the sweetest! We have been communicating through email, so when I told her my name, she lit up! She was very happy to show me around and encouraged me to attend the pilgrim's blessing (seen in photo) and the morning mass tomorrow before I leave. I will take her offer and not leave so early tomorrow. 😁Baca lagi
