      VILLAVIEJA to PUENTE FLÓREZ The Albergue in Villavieja was terrific. Only another Spanish couple. In fact I’ve only seen them, 3 Aussies ( @jimmyc )and 1 other person. In fact in Ponferrada there were very few walkers. Probably a back to school...

      Off we go again on a new route for me, Camino Invierno. Not sure I’ll have much to add the already excellent details posted by @peregrina2000 and @Wendy Werneth and Nick. I’m trying to follow their suggestions but my staging and distances are...

      There’s been a lot of scattered chatter about the different options for walking into Las Médulas, but I thought I’d put them all together in one thread and hope for comments from those who have walked. My sketchy diagram is as accurate as I could...

      I would second VN’s suggestion that you contact the albergue directly. They do take a hit when you go through booking, but they cannot afford to shut off access to that huge market (especially since they are an albergue turístico, not a pilgrim...

      I stayed there last month, and it's a fantastic albergue! The beds have real cotton sheets, and they supply real cotton towels. I made a reservation through WhatsApp. There were only two of us that night. You can buy a full dinner made by a...

      ranthr reacted to t2andreo's post in the thread Pilgrim attacked by bird of prey with Like Like.
      I read this thread with interest, as I do have some, indirect experience with this. In the interest of contributing facts and knowledge, I offer the following: The Eurasian Griffon Vulture is endemic to the Pyrenees in France and Spain. On my...
