Thanks for news. Not sure if walking or not, plan was the Sanabres from Ourense late in November but route goes through a major burned area may put it off until spring. From not very detailed map on Faro de Vigo site looks like first two days after Ourense go through fire area.Hola Anne Louise and welcome to the Forum! Check out this thread for some maps and news (from a couple weeks ago). https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/fires-impacting-on-camino.51286/
Are you walking soon?
I'm right now doing Camino de Invierno, today I'm at Rodeiro 3 Etapas before Santiago , I haven't see any area that was affected by fire ( only some little parts ).Anyone know if the September / October fires in Galicia affected the Camino de Invierno and the Camino Sanabres? Have looked in Spanish press to find fire locations with no luck, just know that Ourense province was badly affected

Let me tell you that Camino the Invierno is something completely different than Camino Frances , very few facilities , few shops, no albergues, ( only pensions an Hostals, )be prepare for journeys of 30 and 35 kilometers without seen anyone, I have not met any pilgrims so far after 1 week on Camino the Invierno, I travel alone and your mind and your good shape is a must.
Think about it before start because most people give up after 2 o 3 journeys!
Thank for info about the fires, Pruden, good to hear it was not badly affected. Also for news about differences with Camino Frances, a friend did the Camino Invierno and said it was lovely, I've cycled in the area and would like to walk it, as an experienced hiker not too worried about physical or mental challenges though good to know need to think ahead for supplies and sleeping. Still thinking about dates, may wait until early spring.I'm right now doing Camino de Invierno, today I'm at Rodeiro 3 Etapas before Santiago , I haven't see any area that was affected by fire ( only some little parts ).

I finished Sanabres a week and a half ago. You can see burnt areas but not much. I walked through about 100 meters of burnt area.Thanks for news.
