    LIVE from the Camino Wise Pilgrim Guide— on the Invierno

    Thanks for the photos. We saw the Diamondi church in mid Sept, and I'd love to see inside, plus ... ... would be fun to stay in the albergue next door. Oh dear, I'm now dreaming about the Invierno again (for 3rd time) after only one month! That's crazy, right? No bad dog experiences at all...

    Barxa de Lor — Pensión Pacita

    @el Sol I hope you were able to contact Casa Pacita and to stay successfully. I managed to make contact with Jose Luis with the email ... pensionpacita@hotmail.com ... and four of us stayed there on Sept 17. I had no joy with the phone number but the problem may have been with my Australian...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    I agree @VNwalking …Villavieja, the albergue, hamlet, beautiful walk up to the castle and Cornatel Castillo itself, are highlights of the Invierno. A great first day 2x for me. And it can be part of a great first day for those walking longer stages.

    A Pobra 2023 - Municipal albergue — open July 2023

    Goodness Laurie, how the Invierno has changed since yours and Reb's early forays into this little known way. Thank you for pioneering.

    LIVE from the Camino On my way tomorrow, part 2

    Love to see Asun's video... I also stayed with her in 2018 and she was extra kind when I sprained an ankle, with 'magic' treatment and a speedy car ride down the mountain to Quiroga. I'll try and visit Asun in Sept, though I'll be with 3 other peregrinas. .. and look out for Casimiro too...

    Yay for the albergue in Quiroga...open after all.... and yay for Casa Aroza.

    LIVE from the Camino John’s Invierno July 2023

    Hi John, Are you staying in the big municipal albergue in Quiroga? I have fond memories of it and of the town. Buen camino from Oz.

    LIVE from the Camino John’s Invierno July 2023

    This is wonderful @John Saxon... thanks for sharing. I'll be following along as I'm redoing the Invierno with 3 friends in Sept. Have noted your recommendation for Casa Rosa in Domingo Florez. Buen camino.

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Oops, I made a mistake. Sorry everyone. I've now checked old guide books (as I should have done before writing) and photo album and it wasn't Pico Sacro we went up. The old Ben Cole guide book calls it a 'castro' , just before the big descent into Puente Ulla. I should have realised Pico...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Sad this camino is coming to an end but nice to re-experience those feelings even just a little bit from afar. Have felt like we've been on a journey together, loved reminiscing with you all, and grateful to @peregrinna2000 for leading us out of muddy holes, drenching rain, angry dogs and...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    I like these options @peregrina2000. Those bigger towns in the final days are not my favourites and I find them hard to negotiate, so only having one day remaining before needing to be in SdC, I walked to Silleda, then took a taxi to Ponte Ulla for my final night.

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Also interested . I honestly doubt it would have worked this time and anyway, I had both hands occupied with hiking sticks fending them off...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Notes from 2018.. RODEIRO to LALIN. 21-22KM. After the first few km on the main road, the camino then follows dirt roads and farm tracks, very peaceful and pretty, even if boggy in parts. I remember climbing through a barbed wire fence into a farm paddock to skirt around a boggy stretch and...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Yes, we're all still in Rodeiro, enjoying the royal delights of the Panaderia and waiting for the rain to stop.

    Yes we do!

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Think I was hasty and a bit mean earlier in my comment re Sarah Dhoona's Invierno videos. Now enjoying a few more, her rolling photography, bridge dancing, tours through castles and albergues (brilliant), history. Lots of fun and nice prompts for my old memory. I guess she's not doing these...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Haha love it. The things that happen on camino! Notes from June, 2018 I spent a good hour up the top, wished I could get into the Chapel, as ever. Wonderful views. Also enjoyed the glass box office nearby... really good for selfie 'reflection' photos. Doubt I would have done this days walk if...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Diamondi to Belesar The steep drop down to Belesar was so worthwhile and full of 'wow" moments that it would be a shame to miss it. I was blown away and just had to take photo after photo and sit to write poetry, so I did the descent very slowly with hiking sticks. You need to be careful...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    My notes from 2018... Hotel Vilaseco sounds ideal, instead of staying in Chantada... for next time. That would make the following day's stage doable for me (19km). Thanks Laurie. Or 'As Casas' CR in San Pedro de Viana is another option and it sounds and looks delightful. Thanks Theatregal ...

    Planning a “25 km or less” Camino on the Invierno

    Laurie, one of the attacks was between Villavieja and Las Medulas. The other, I'm not sure, but before A Rua. Sorry for not collecting all the details.... (in 2018). Should I delete my comment?... don't wish to scare anyone without all the evidence. The two pilgrims were both tall...
