Hi Graham, I took the road via Pola de Allande. I thought the weather was not good enough for Hospitales, so I spent the night in Pola. The next time, I will walk the Hospitales. What I have heard from other Pilgrims, it was also quite foggy, as...
11. Day - Grandas de Salime to Castro, 5km, Castro Youth Hostel (railings)
A very short walk, partly muddy, partly very muddy (no wonder after yesterday's weather). Early check-in into the Albergue, washing and drying everything (finally clean...

@Thomas1 I am in Albergue Herminia, across the street from you. I was energetic today and walked 32.5 km from Salas....a lovely walk, especially from Tineo over the mountain to Campiello...great views. It was chilly...ok when moving but I felt...
