[QUOTE="Charrito, post: 894862, member: 36793"] If you are planning to spend the first night in Borrenes, then you have three different ways of getting there from Santalla. 1. Up to Villavieja and the castle, back down to the road intersection with the N-536 (by the slate quarry), then the local road down to Borrenes. 2. Follow the winding N-536 up to the slate quarry, then the local road down to Borrenes. This is NOT advisable, as there is no pavement and there are lots of 'blind' bends. 3. My alternative, after the chapel (as I posted yesterday): [INDENT]I[I]f, for any reason, you don’t want to walk all the way up to Cornatel Castle after leaving Santalla del Bierzo, you don’t need to do any road walking on that nasty stretch up to the Slate Factory at the top.[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Instead, carry straight on at the Ermita de la Virgen del Carmen (but be careful: don’t follow the path round to the right); ten metres past the chapel head upwards. It’s fairly steep for about 200 metres, then you cross the N-536, and head up the slate mountain (!) for another 150 metres to the top. It brings you out at the confluence of roads (N-536, the one coming down from Villavieja, and the one that takes you down to Borrenes).[/I][/INDENT] There was a post somewhere on the Invierno thread last year about the amount of road-walking on the Invierno. We had a few differences of opinion, I seem to remember! [/QUOTE]
