  1. Ribeirasacra

    Planning.

    The story goes on. In the car all 3 of us had a good natter. We even stopped to look at the church at Diomondi from the main LU533 road in the Miño valley. The conversation was everywhere. But the young woman did say she was meeting her mother and was afraid that she would not find anywhere to...

    Planning.

    It is kind to do a lot of things.;) She was obviously not going to make Chantada for many hours.
  3. Ribeirasacra

    Planning.

    Tonight when going to one of our suppliers of wine near Diomondi. Drove past a woman who was obviously a pilgrim. We were travelling in the opposite direction to her. After a while we started out the return journey to the house. The pilgrim had not walked far. During a quick conversation with...

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    The question is way do yet another translation? One book and a downloadable guide would be enough. Goolge tanslate! There are enough of native English speakers who live in the area who can do this work. They do not need to know how to walk to give a translation!:p

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    If you read your post here you quoted me, that is why I thought your offer of help was marked for my attention. The guide is already in PDF?

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    Thanks for the information. PDF is ok. Unless on has an international IVA regsitarion then you cannot sell itmes without IVA. I know that having been down that road as business. That could explain why the books are not available outside the EU via the Camino de Invierno website.

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    I think you are a wee bit confused. I have not asked for any guide. In the post above that one you have stated it is not a walk in the wilderness. it is for a Camino in Spain. I think you will find the first days are. There really is not the infrastructure one can normally fall back on. But it...

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    If that is the case then maybe this route is not for you. I have already said the route is not trambled on much. English speakers can be hard to find and the basic infrastructure, you will encounter, on many other routes are not found on this one.

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    Ivar, I have written about a book in English which has already been published. In this posting. That is the book you have. Thought you might like to chip in a bit on my idea that PDF guides be published in an "e-book" format? What do you think? As I understand it PDFs are a bit clumsy to read...

    There are please read the information in this thread.

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    Folks,I am going to be very honest here. This route is hardly trampled, even less with English speakers. You may just find that English is hardly spoken and if it is that can quite bad. I do feel that those wanting to take this route are lucky to encounter any information. But speaking Spanish...

    Finalized My Stages For April Camino Invierno Route

    No go to Pazo de Arxeriz. http://www.sotodefion.org/principal_es.htm The Castro near by. http://www.sotodefion.org/visita_virtual_es.htm Chill out by the casa rural own swimming pool, plus the gounds are huge and one can get lost in them!

    New, illustrated English Guide to Camino de Invierno

    I would have thought that carrying a book is a bit to yesterday when undertaking a pilgrimage. If you want one for the coffee table/book shelf then you can purchase them immediately with English text. See details in post 82 on this thread. However the link on the official Spanish website for...

    Finalized My Stages For April Camino Invierno Route

    I think Charrito is wise. ;) To be honest the view point has fallen into disrepair. The Mimosa trees have been allowed to grow and unless it is cut down will block the view. You can see that from the start of the drone video. scrub obscures the view. This is a better image of what can be seen...

    Questions about bars — need info for 2019 guide

    Oh another thing to note. There are new bars/restaurants popping up whilst others close in both Monforte de Lemos and Chantada. The situation is fluid.

    Questions about bars — need info for 2019 guide

    Belesar No idea. The new owner is not a person who was very clear. I do not know the name of the new owner of the first bar in Chantada (Pio Lindo). However, she came across as a very pleasant woman. Yesterday was market day and Mesón Lucus was empty, including the bar.:(

    Bar in Belesar

    yes it was reopened. But food is very limited, from reports. Same name.

    Walking during Holy Week

    That is the problem with this route. Little accommodation aimed at pilgrims. Hence my words of warning. Reports covering this region suggested that the accommodation was about 90% full last year. Plus there is a medieval festival in Monforte de Lemos. The weekend before there is usually a wine...

    Growth (or lack of) on the Invierno
