    Yep You want to visit the galleries and the Mirador at Orellan, right? But check the opening times for the Castle, they do seem to change them quite a bit. Don’t trust the times as per the notice on the board in the albergue in Villavieja

    pilgrimjim replied to the thread Ourense Detour?.
    Thanks for all the creative thinking. Because the Invierno is somewhat shorter than two weeks, i thought I’d take a bus from Chantada to Ourense. If I do that, do I lose the chance to get the credencial? (If it does, that would be ok.) Because...

    I find myself intrigued by the idea of detouring to Ourense from Chantada and following the Sanabres until the two join together at a Lalin. Has anyone done this or given it consideration?
