Thank you both for the info! What do you think of Casa Carola compared to the albergue? Or is there anywhere else to stay? I(I have budgeted money to stay somewhere more expensive than an albergue one night.)Alyssa,
Without a doubt I, too, would vote for O Cebreiro. In sunshine, rain, or snow it is for me always a most special place.
This is another mystic and mythic stop on the Camino. During the middle ages due to the strong faith of one simple parishioner the wine and bread of the mass are said to have truly changed into Christ's blood and flesh. The church became famous and royalty sent priceless gifts. Today this small church is kept immaculate; it and the tiny village form a protected historic site.
Be sure to stop at the tomb of Elias Valinas Sampedro, the local priest who late last century revitalized the ideas of the camino with its network of supporting albergues and even painted the now famous first yellow arrows which mark our way. ...Never underestimate the strength of personal conviction!
