    Large group on the Torres

    Hi Laurie, a great coffee stop is at Julietta's place, cafe s. Cristavao, in Pereiro (between Almeida and Pinhel). Having stopped for a coffee, I was invited to share lunch with her and her husband, and she then walked me to the edge of the village. Extraordinary hospitality, which Pelerine...

    Camino de Torres from Salamanca

    Have you looked at the ‘Relatos’ section of the USAL website? There are, among others, detailed reports in English by Ina Sinclair, Maggie Woodward (@Magwood) and Gideon Sadler, and an introductory report that I wrote. Also, many reports in other languages. For planning my camino in 2018 I...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Torres Trancoso-Braga June 2021

    On my camino in 2018 I stayed at the Casa de Cultura e Juventude. The people were lovely, I had a small room to myself, and it was a very comfortable stay. It's also well located near the river.

    Advice needed please

    I downloaded from here directly into Maps.me on an iPad. Worked fine. : https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/gps-in-kmz-and-in-gpx-format-tracks-of-all-spanish-caminos-in-one-file.341/ The map was very accurate. The only potential deviation I know of is between Peso de Regua and...

    Post Camino Torres thoughts

    I sent a trip report to Luis Quintales at USAL a while ago. He advised that he is updating the website at the moment and will include it then. Presumably he will pick up gns' report as well.

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    The round trip is about three and a half hours - 1 hour 25 minutes in each direction plus about half an hour in Pocinho. Trains leave Peso de Régua at 09:10, 11:10, 15:10 & 17:18. There is also a train at 11:38 but it goes only as far as Tua. The hotel Imperio is conveniently located just...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    Hi Ina, before I left I was in contact with Luis Quintales at USAL to get information on GPS maps. I promised to give him feedback when I finished and am preparing that now.. Off topic, but….I believe you are planning to walk the coastal route later in the year. There is a lot of overlap...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    I finished the C. Torres at Ponte de Lima a few weeks ago. After all the rain in March and early April I got lucky and had almost perfect weather – only one wet day. I really enjoyed this camino. Highly recommended for those who like to get a little off the beaten track. Parts are quite...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    Yes, Solar de Sé is a winner. Not only a good hotel in a great location but top people as well. When I said I would be leaving early they immediately advanced breakfast by half an hour for my convenience. Further update: There appears to have been a route change between Lamego and Peso de...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    Further update: A section of the camino path just before Trancoso was impassabl as of a couple of days ago. Immediately after crossing the motorway and the EN-102 it was just a massive swamp. I turned right up the EN-102 and after 300m turned left onto a bitumen road. From that turnoff it is a...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    Thanks for the encouragement. You have both contributed a lot to my journey planning. Ciudad Rodrigo to Gallegos de Argañán was a beautiful walk. First four km on a bitumen road, then on minor unpaved roads. Lush green everywhere - you could almost be in Ireland. Lovely rolling hills with...

    Any recent information on the Camino Torres?

    I arrived in Ciudad Rodrigo today - what a lovely city. There has been a lot of rain here and there are some water obstacles, though nothing serious. About 1 km before the Rio Arganza, after Robliza de Cojos, I was stopped by a farmer who assured me the river was a metre or more deep, and...

    LIVE from the Camino On to the Camino Torres

    Alan, given that there is only the one place to stay in Sernancelhe, and that backup accommodation is a reasonable distance away, it's a good idea to follow your lead at phone ahead to confirm a bed is available. Did you get a phone number by any chance? Did you get the impression that...

    LIVE from the Camino On to the Camino Torres

    Alan, this is great information, keep it coming please. With my limited techno-skills I am building a spreadsheet of accommodation along the route. The lists in the USAL guide are OK as far as Trancoso, but limited thereafter. I’ll add any info you post to the details I’ve downloaded from USAL...
