10th C Monasterio de San Salvador de Carracedo

[pilgrim b]

We are thinking of taking a 6km detour to 10th C Monasterio de San Salvador de Carracedo, on our next Camino. Unfortunately I cannot find out very much about it only what John Brierley has to say, and there is very little on the web that I can find out about it just photographs! Does the museum open every day and it appears according to Brierley to have an Albergue have you anymore information please.?

pilgrimB,

See this web page for more info on the Monasterio. This site describes the albergue in particular.

Happy planning and Buen camino,

Margaret Meredith

it is really interesting, but if you've already seen a zillion churches and monasteries in the last few days, maybe not. I have not stayed at the albergue, but it is an "albergue turistico," not a dedicated pilgrim place.. which is not always a bad thing! It looks very clean and nice from outside. And there are at least two little restaurants right there in the town, too.

If you don't read Spanish, this web has some basic info in English about the monastery (the same web has more info about the monastery but just in Spanish):
