Services and marking on Camino Verde

[Ralph Ayling]

I am taking the Verde from Lugo and would like some information on the availability of food and water and the quality of the way marking. Any information would be appreciated.

Way marking is excellent. Take your own food and water. There are no reliable resources between Lugo and Friol or Friol and Sobrado that I have ever encountered. Pre-book your accommodation in Friol, spaces are limited.

Thanks for your reply. That is very helpful.

Did you do the route? Please let me know any feedback. Sadly José Manuel and I were unable to refresh the arrows and the directions last year as his mother was involved in a serious accident. We hope to do so this year.

 

[Ralph Ayling]

Yes, we did. The marking was generally good. Sometimes we had to look around a little but it all went well. It’s a beautiful walk.
The only issue was some aggressive free running dogs at a farm on the second day.
Thank you for the work you have done on the route We really appreciate it.
Regards,
Ralph

@Ralph Ayling you're welcome. I know those dogs, yes. The farm with the water trough on the left. I have not heard of them biting though. The farmer is friendly and called them in when I went by. Hopefully with more pilgrims the mutts will chill out a bit.
