    We tried phoning the past two days, yet had no answer. So we decided to walk by this morning after the boat ride from V.de Arousa and take a chance. They are still closed. Here’s a photo of the sign on the door.

    We got “shelled” today - in a good way. One of the coolest thing on any of my Camino journeys. On the way to Redondela, a man who drove by us, stopped his car, got out, and asked if he could give us something. He unwrapped his paper towel packages and gave each of us a scallop shell as he wished...

    Thanks for the info. I stayed here in October 2019 - will post here once I know about whether or not it is open this week.

    We got crendencials from the church inside the fort at Valença

    Thanks. We’re waiting at the new (since I was last here in 2022) bus station in Santiago for the bus. It’s a really nice bus station and improvement over the old one. I hiked the Portugues from Porto in 2019, and I enjoyed the evening prayers at the monastery. We’re also going to try to stay...

    We’re on our way to Valença, Portugal to begin a short Camino (including Spiritual Variant) tomorrow for school holiday. It’s my daughter’s first Camino experience!

    Bus / Transport from Santiago to Valença on Saturdays

    Any experience / recommendations on finding a bus or other transport from Santiago to Valença on a Saturday? I'm hoping to be in Valença on Saturday, 18 March, so I can start there on Sunday, 19 March.

    A glorious day in Santiago! The renovated cathedral is amazing! Santiago feels empty. Not many pilgrims, not many shops / restaurants open.

    We stayed in Pont de Ulla at O Cruceiro. (I have stayed at Outeiro before, yet I didn’t think we’d need the cold foot bath this time of year 😉 ) Apologies for slacking on the photos. Hopefully these will bring a smile.

    Today’s route - Lalin to Pont de Ulla. The 10th century bridge after A Laxe covered in frost has to be one highlight. And another is that we stopped at cafes in three different towns just because we could - haha (first day we’ve had the option to do so). Great discussions while walking over...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Invierno Walk in January Starting from Ponferrada

    Today began with walking towards a setting moon with a rising sun behind us. The sunny weather shone on farmers busy fertilizing their fields. So the views today were grand, yet the scent in the air not always so. :) We decided to take a short day and stop in Lalin. We decided to stay at Hotel...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Invierno Walk in January Starting from Ponferrada

    Today’s walk took us from Chantanda to Rodeiro. We passed pastures and crossed through farm towns, we were waylaid by a traffic jam of cows going to pasture down the main road, and we found the café closed. When I asked the farmer across the road if the café would open, he scratched his head...

    Forgot to say that immigration only asked for QR code, which had to be verified along with my vacc. Card before I boarded my Iberia flight. Only the first albergue checked temperature of arriving peregrinos. Since then, besides a bottle of hand sanitizer and a sign that says “wear your mask”...

    We couldn’t find the albergue in Monforte de Lemons. (Albergue Santiago is closed until March.) We stopped at O Pincho for some food (around the corner from Alb. Sant.) and the lady serving us said she had a friend with a hotel and wanted to know if she should call him for us. Her friend owns...

    Not a long post today, because I’m too tired. The council albergue in Brollón was closed because of Covid so we walked the 13+ kilometers more to Monforte de Lemos. I’m glad I’m not walking alone - physically or spiritually. We’re feeling good just tired a B f a flight cough from walking in the...
