Si la primera etapa transcurrió bajo el sol, la lluvia fue protagonista en esta jornada. Aunque supuso un mayor esfuerzo y dificultad, también fue una experiencia enriquecedora, para comprender la dificultad que tiene el peregrinaje.
Debemos destacar, fundamentalmente, de la etapa, la visita al Monasterio de Samos. Tuvimos un guía de lujo: El prior del cenobio, D. José Luis Vélez, quien con absoluta paciencia y amabilidad nos mostró uno a uno todos los rincones de Samos, ilustrándonos con su gran saber y conocimientos históricos.
Además, compartimos nuestra comida en el refectorio del Monasterio, acompañados del prior y del periodista de la Voz de Galicia X.R. Penoucos que realizó la visita con nosotros y cuyo artículo mostramos más abajo.
En definitiva, la experiencia fue realmente enriquecedora para nosotros y para nuestros alumnos y por ello queremos compartirla con todos vosotros a través de nuestro Blog.
On Wednesday 25th November, and according to the planning of the activities of the Grundtvig project, “Without Barriers”, we made the second stage of the Santiago’s Way in Galicia, between the towns of Triacastela and Sarria.
Though we could walk under the sun on our first journey, the rain was leading in this second stage. Obviously, this meant greater effort and difficulty, but it was also an enriching experience to understand the hardness of the pilgrimage.
On this stage we have to highlight mainly, the visit to the Monastery of Samos. We had the best guide, the prior Mr. José Luis Vélez who, with absolute patience and friendliness, showed us one by one all the spots of Samos, instructing us with his wide knowledge and his learning about historical facts.
Besides, we shared our food in the refectory of the Monastery accompanied by the prior and by a journalist, X.R. Penoucos, who works for La Voz de Galicia, and who came on the guided tour with us and whose article is shown below.
In short, it was a really enriching experience for us and our students and that’s why we want to share it with all of you through our Blog.

I have read your 2 articles from the Camino with great pleasure, and one day I hope I can experience part of the Camino myself. I have seen the beautiful landscape from Lugo to Santiago, and I even saw a lot of pilgrims during our first meeting.
As the camino is known for its final goal; Santiago de Compostela, I wonder if you had with you on the trip anyone who took this trip seriously, like a true Christian? I have read a little on Internet about it, and this pilgrimage is perhaps one of the most known in the Christian world. And one more thing; did you have a mix of Christians and Muslims with you? Is religion ever a theme you talk about?
- I'm just curious -
Dear Bente
About the camino, as I said in the last meeting, I would like if some of the partners come to Spain to do some of the stages with us. We will inform with time for the last stages, in order you can know it and if is possible, you can travel to Spain to do the Camino with us.
About your question, really they are doing the Camino with special dedication, even when they are from different religions, no christians. But the camino is special and get that diferent people from diferent cultures can live it with special interest.
