Note from the mods: El Cascayal completed her Camino Sanabrés from Ourense in June 2021. The thread was live when posted.
Hi for anyone who may be interested some information on the Sanabres from Ourense.
The weather is intensely hot. This is my first time walking in this heat. The Xunta albergues are planning to open mid June, perhaps sometime this week on a case by case basis. The new Albergue at Oseira is scheduled to open within the next 7 days. Anyone appreciate how precise all of this is?
Most places open in Ourense the Cathedral un Ourense gives Peregrinos a special 1 whole Euro discount. Bars & restaurants, places to stay open.
Cea only one game in town the Casa Rural Casa Mañoso, lovely place, nice owners and pricey. One place to eat in town at the entrance of the Camino, Bahia grill or something like that, everything else closed except 2 bars that serve snacks. Great breakfast place as you leave in the morning on the Camino run by Galician Venezuelans.
I stayed with the monks in Oseira for 2 nights. Amazing overall experience, they are modern and kind and the hospedería is a dream. No Wifi there, you must stay 2-7 nights. Only one bar open in town right at the entrance to the monastery and closed on Mondays.
I am currently in Estación Lalín at Taberna do Vento wonderful young couple run it, comfortable clean rooms. EXCELLENT food, very fair prices. The number on Gronze & Buen Camino app is his WhatsApp contact so you can book directly with him.
Now the bad news: the Camino here so far, is not well maintained, the weeds and grass up to my hips and sometimes my armpits. The worst part is the thorns everywhere. Several times while going uphill or downhill over rocks, I had to duck under the canopy-like entwined thorns above my head. I am all scratched up. You cannot wear shorts. Many many entrepid flies. Yellow arrows not all there, wound up doing extra kms today & on N-525 not by choice but by necessity. Other than that, folks are happy to see Peregrinas once again and as always locals are very welcoming.
If people are interested I will continue to update, WiFi availability permitting.
