If you have an hour to spend, you can follow Planet Doug's learning curve video on YouTube. He takes you along on his own "learning curve" trip where he discovers how to use the Relive app, partially in real time, and shows step-by-step how to use the features of the free app--he also discusses...

In The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago, Gitlitz and Davidson list Cortiñas as being on the route from Sarria to Portomarin between Peruscallo and Lavandeira. The text, however, does not discuss it.
