Second update from the Vadiniense...
After walking up from Potes we arrived at the Monasterio Santo Toribio a little before things opened up. The very nice lady in the gift shop stored our packs while we walked around and had our chance to touch the true cross. As we were loading up and...
We just finished walking from San Vicente de la Barquera to Mansilla de las Mulas, and wanted to share a few notes from our experience. We benefited tremendously from Rebekah's outstanding guide and also from the notes posted here by Peregrina2000 and PSheehan (carried printed copies of all...
And we shall...
We had some beautiful mountain weather in the days before while following the Lebaniego and walking from Potes, so no complaints.
BTW, we've been following your guidebook and it's great. Thanks!

You are so fortunate, Ramblanista. We walked that stage yesterday in rough weather. Drizzle on and off all the way up from Fuente De, totally socked in with clouds until things started to break up at Puerto de Pandetrave. But today a beautiful stage down to Riano, with just enough clouds to...

Buen camino.
Dan
Thanks for this additional info. We've walked enough camino km to understand that it's not all a stroll through the park. It's not a pilgrimage if there isn't something to challenge the pilgrim.
Dan
Thanks for this additional info. I think we've decided to walk from the Coast down the Camino Vadiniense, then continue on to the Camino Invierno. Still working on air flights and precise dates, but we'll be there from about the end of June til end of July.

Hi all,
We've been planning to walk this July from the Norte down to Potes, then follow the Camino Vadiniense (and subsequently over to the Camino Invierno to finish in Santiago). But after spending a little time reviewing Rebekah's guidebook, plus Laurie's delightful blog from her 2012 trip...
