Thank you for that info, her blog looks great and I've already picked up one or two useful tips. Meanwhile, if you happen to be reaching Monforte de Lemos by 4th April then i would be happy to buy you a drink, I live just a few k's away from the Invierno and Monforte. Pm me if you are.
Flying into Sevilla on April 5th, then setting off the next day on the vdlp. Anyone else around?

If you ever need details or changes in my area checked for the guide then just let me know.
Not sure that figure is correct! I live a couple of miles from the Invierno near Monforte, run several times a week along or across the route, drive along parts of it on a daily basis, and rarely see pilgrims - perhaps once every couple of weeks, if that.
