A Brazilian pilgrim told me in O Cebreiro that if I could, I should stay in Samos next. The albergue is on the monastery and it would be a good experience to stay there.
When I found Triacastela to be too commercial with many private albergues, I decided to push another 6 km to Samos.
Beautiful rainbow on the way down O Cebreiro.
Outside Samos. A nice view of the monastery.
The oldest monastery in Spain. Founded in the 6th century by St Martin of Braga.
A tour inside the monastery.
Unfortunately the tour did not include the library. During the medieval time, only the clergy had access to learning and books.
