    Castro Dozon closed

    We just completed the following out of Ourense. The only comment is the albergue in Outeiro is not close to any bar/cafe and the kitchen is not yet equipped with kitchenware. Estación de Lalín and Botus (Gronze) are the same. Oseira Monastery 31.0 Estación de Lalín 22.8 Bandeira 22.1...

    Somewhere in Western Galicia

    Church of San Julián de Moraime - we actually did walk by it on our walk back to Santiago from Muxia in 2016 - and saw the bus go by on AC-440. It is right outside of Muxia, in Moraime. I have several pictures of the church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_San_Xulián_de_Moraime

    Just "finished" Camino de Madrid

    @timr yes, you are right! The Brazillian group La Misión Eucarística Voz de los Pobres arrived in December 2017 and are still running the albergue. Very small group I believe, trying to establish monastic life in the convent.

    Just "finished" Camino de Madrid

    @frbobs - I thoroughly enjoyed the Camino Madrid this June and am still processing my memories too! My wife and I spent an extra day in Cercedilla and Segovia which worked out perfectly. We also stayed exclusively in the municipal albergues between Segovia and Sahagún (with the exception of the...

    Meeting Ivar

    and.... I did not meet Ivar, but spoke to him from Oviedo as he provided significant help to us after my wife fell and broke her arm on the Primitivo. He helped arrange a box to get sent back home for us that we had shipped ahead to Santiago! Great great guy! Yes, Thanks Ivar! :)
