    Requejo to Lubian (Camino Sanabres)

    Wolves! I want to see a wolf! At one point, there was a local man was walking a ways ahead of us on the road. A couple of large canines - looked like wolves to me! - slipped down out of the forest and were walking behind him. Looked like they were stalking him and we wondered if we were going...

    How do you research many wikiloc tracks?

    Requejo to Lubian (Camino Sanabres)

    Apparently none of the routes were flooded. We left Requejo on the 525 highway. Then, if you have Wise Pilgrim, you will not detour to Aciberos to the right, but instead will turn left to be on the new old new old route. Jajaja! Dont worry either way you wont get lost.

    Requejo to Lubian (Camino Sanabres)

    After Requejo, you pass thru a little town, Padornelo and then by a gas station with a bar. You follow N-525 for a short way and then come to a turn off to the right, leading to Aciberos. There are several large, classic Camino signs pointing to down that turn off to the right. @geraldkelly...

    New Official River Route from Requejo to Padornelo

    I am walking from Requejo tomorrow. It has been very warm and dry the last few days. All of the locsls are telling me to avoid the river route as it is flooded and impassible.

    Sanabres "Glitch"

    We walked from Puebla Sanabres to Requejo today. Not a single other pilgrim did we see. I dont think we will be booking ahead.

    Up to date C. Sanabres info?

    I take it back. The walk from Puebla Sanabres to Requejo was beautiful. There was not one other pilgrim. My daughter has tremendous stamina and has become a good navigator. BTW @Antnix1 apparently there is an open albergue in Castro Dozon now.

    Up to date C. Sanabres info?

    My daughter just has a few weeks off so we flew to Portugal to visit my brother in Braga, then he drove us up to Puebla de Sanabria to walk the Camino Sanabres. Tomorrow we start walking, but I have some concerns. I have the 2024 Wise Pilgrim guide, Gerald Kelly's new book on VdlP/Sanabres...

    Poles or No Poles?

    I never thought Id use poles until I found Pacer Poles. A real game changer.

    Lightweight backpack for petite female

    The new ladder pack adjuster on Osprey packs is great. You can change it in less than a second. It's genius.

    Lightweight backpack for petite female

    I use shock cords to hold my water bottles on my shoulder straps. (use a bicycle bottle with a waist.) See my profile pic. Works great; can't even tell it's there and I can remove and replace it while walking. I asked the designer of the Osprey packs why he couldn't make side pockets that...

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    That's what they told me, too. It was pretty tough, even though I stopped at Orisson. However nobody warned me about O Cebreiro.

    Lightweight backpack for petite female

    If you go into REI, have them use the Osprey torso measuring tool for your torso. You often cannot tell the torso size from the body height. Sounds like you know yours, though.
