- Geira y Arrieiros, Torres 2023
Hola
The Geira y Arrieiros from Braça to Santiago.
We had heard great things about this remote mountainous walk and were looking forward to it. We are not disappointed!
The information is direct, accomodation may be complex and book a few days ahead, its not busy, and you must bring a GPS/App and a powerbank.
I will collect the info sources I came across and put them here.
First is an updated doco on accomodation, services, where to find the epath/kml, the pros snd cons of going to Torres de Bouro etc. I believe it is authored by Henrique Malheiro and obtained by Garis.
We started on Tuesday 23rd May just after finishing the Torres from Salamanca- which was just after the Mozarabie from Almeria!
Day 1 Caldelas to Terras de Bouro 13km, 405m up
After the last 3 days of 'Urban' walking on the Torres into Braça we decided to avoid another day's urban trials and caught an 8:15 bus to Caldelas and walked from there.
Beautiful scenery and walking. Great to be up in the hills.
Signage was fantastic up to the point where we took the left fork on the shorter path so we could stay at Torres de Bouro. As well the signs and the epath aligned. Then nothing!
At first a very steep rutted overgrown rocky path down. After that we compared the paths to a longer road each time.
Stayed at Pension Rio Romem, (€52 booked via Booking.com) has a bar and good Restraunt.
