    LIVE from the Camino PwP (person with Parkinson's) doing the Camino de Invierno

    I am looking forward to reading your posts from the way! My wonderful father in law had Parkinson's. You will be in my thoughts and prayers I know it's a trite saying these days, but it's true so....) as you prepare and walk. Buen Camino.

    Albergues and bag taxi along the Invierno

    Hi Alissa, We mostly did the Invierno last June. You can check out my Live from the Camino thread here. Some caveats about our walk: We were recovering from Covid when we started and skipped the first stage to Las Medulas. We also ended up having to take a second rest day and took the train...

    Diomondi or Chantada? (In the winter)

    I'd stay at Diomondi! As others have said, it's not "remote". We easily got a cab from there to Chantada on our limping Camino this past summer....

    My guide and notes from our June Invierno

    Hi All, I promised I would post my guide and notes from our Invierno -- so here it is. Almost all the info is based on the Forum Invierno guide supplemented with bits of info I picked up from the forum and from Brierly. I've tried to indicate where I saw things closed, where we stayed and...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    A couple of notes on today's stage: I didn't think that Hostal Curceiro in Ponte Ulla was anything special. It is right on the highway and quite noisy. The restaurant at Pension Taberna Gundian was nice. The pension is a little pricy but.... Also, the Xunta Albergue in Outeiro is in a...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Day 13: Outeiro to Santiago. We arrived! This one was emotional as there were definitely days when I thought the gig was up! What a lovely way to approach the city! It was a glorious day -- sunny and cool. We cabbed up from Ponte Ulla to Outeiro to start walking and popping out of the fog...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Day 12: Bandeira to Outeiro. Today was great. The Xunta albergue in Bandeira is nice. It's a bunch of pods connected by roofs, so you have to go outside to go from the dorm to the shower, etc. So not a place to stay in cold weather. But the common space is light and the dorm was nice. The...

    Yum is all I can say! Yes I do mean no pots or pans. No Nothing. That's been my experience with all Xunta de Galicia Albergues. We have plastic cups and sporks so..... And unfortunately the flies and mosquitoes did make it into the albergue so it was a long not great night 😮🙄

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Days 10 and 11: A Eirexe to A Laxe and A Laxe to Bandeira We stayed at the Xunta Albergue in A Laxe last night and were not able to get on the internet. I had read reviews saying the albergue was not well maintained. We thought it was very good for a Xunta Albergue (no utensils 🙄). The...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Day 9, Vilanova to A Eirexe . Today was more very beautiful Galician countryside, with cows and walking paths laden with cow s@#$ featuring prominently. Our taxi arrangement has worked well. It turns out that our taxi driver's father was born in the house across from the beautiful little...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Day 8: Vilaseco Hotel to Vilanova de Camba. Today was very good but for a nagging back issue that resulted from my ankle surgery. Aaargh! Briefly, before my ankle replacement my right leg was shorter than my left as a result of past injuries. As part of the ankle replacement they carefully...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    With our joint issues, I think avoiding downs when possible is high priority! We will find out tomorrow haw much of a slog it is🙄😮 Yes. We should walk by San Cristovo in Mouricios, San Vicente de Argonzón and San Miguel do Monte in that order. My thoughts are the same as yours. It's...

    I suspect they will be closed unless we stumble on a care taker at one of them, but they will still be interesting.....

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Tomorrow, we are going to walk them"low road" to Rodiero rather than going up to Monte Faro. Not only will this be better for our joints, but it is supposed to be raining and foggy tomorrow. We were chatting with Manuel at Hotel Vilaseco and he shared a brochure detailing three Romanesque...

    LIVE from the Camino Limping on the Invierno!

    Day 7: Torre Vilariño to Vilaseco. We had another great day. And we are past the 100 km mark! The walk from Torre Vilariño to Diomondi is on quiet paved roads along the top of the Rio Miño canyon. There were lots of low clouds today floating up from the canyon. It was very pretty. The...
