[QUOTE="AshIreGal, post: 1168245, member: 38250"] Likewise... If any of you Can Olv Forum are in Ireland, I'm near Galway / Clare border... Just shout! Presently on a Feve from Leon to hopefully Puente Almuhey. Haven't heard back from Sonia yet, but it's Sunday and hopefully key in the bar. Hostel Stop is full in Velilia. And not 100% if Albergue in Guardo is open this weekend, as holiday session. As will be getting late when the train stops, feel safer in P.A Albergue, than roaming around Guardo. It maybe possible to get to Guardo tomorrow and walk back to PA or vice versa. I have not yet walked the Alternative Route. I have next to know Spanish, but apparently a face that appears to understand everything along with my habit of saying "Si" frequently, so I get a lot of info "mi no comprenda". My pronunciation is so bad, that folks often do not understand me when I am trying to say the name of town or village I am in🤣. Walked Cam Primitivo and switched in Lugo to Cam San Roman. It was not busy at all in case anyone wondering. If doing the 2 stages from Lugo to Sobrado de Monxes, don't follow the trail on Buen Camino app. This link is better. [URL unfurl="true"]http://estradasecorredoiras.blogspot.com/search/label/Cami%C3%B1o%20de%20Santiago%3A%20Friol-Sobrado%20dos%20Monxes?m=0[/URL] Also there was a strong rumour that the pension in Friol was dirty, full of insects unhelpful, no WiFi, over rated , awful owner, expensive... Such a [B]strong rumour[/B] that quiet a number of numbers of "non camping" Primitivo pilgrims didn't switch at Lugo to cross to Norte. I can confirm that it was all probably a [B]well marketed rumour[/B] probably started by a small group of pilgrims who complained about everything and were rude to the staff at the pension and haggled at the price. So much so, that the enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful owner who now manages place since beginning of 2023, wasn't having any crap giving to his staff. After years working in Tenerife, he stood firm. The pension mainly caters for local workers (farms, forests, electrics, and roads) and so cannot negotiate a different price for the occasional pilgrim. (I realise this info is now on the wrong forum thread). For 3 days, I have tried to get onto Camino Olv from SdC, then Ponferrado and then Leon. Blablacar Leon to Guardo let me down late yesterday, so I stayed in monastery Albergue with the nuns. [/QUOTE]
