  GALICIA GUIDE | Samos Monastery | Lugo | Spain
The monastery at Samos is best known for being on one of the many pilgrim's routes (the "way of St. James") to Santiago de Compostela cathedral, but it is a highly impressive and massive structure in its own right.
Samos Monastery, although in Lugo province, is some what out of the way, and we decided to visit it after a day in Lugo city itself.
In reality Samos is a good hour and a quarter from Lugo on winding, but good quality roads and takes you through the town of "Sarria", itself over 35 km (40 minutes on these roads) from Lugo.

 PAXINA DE LUGO EN INGLES
Lugo is the biggest province in Galicia and it has the greatest variety of colours and landscapes.
Its 9,980 Km2 extend from the Cantabrian coast to the Sil basin, and from the mountains which border Asturias to the Cordal Gallega, on the slope to the right of the Miqo The 412.000 inhabitants are spread uniformly around the province with an average density of 40 inhabitants per square kilometre.
And it's not that the people from Lugo are less festive, it's just that "non lle cadrou", the saints and their predecessors didn't come to Lugo in such great numbers as to the other provinces.

 GALICIA GUIDE | Samos monastery 2 | Lugo | Spain
Samos Monastery was originally built in the 6th century when "Saint Martin of Dumie" started the promotion of the monastic life style in Galicia.
At its inception, the monks of Samos followed the monastic rules laid down by Saint Frutuoso and Saint Isidora, but after the 10th century this regime was changed to that of Saint Benito (Benedict) of Nursia.
The nearest significant town to Samos is Sarria which is famous for antique sales/auctions and also has its own (smaller) monastery, so the combining of these two destinations could punctuate the journey back to Lugo.
