Sunny and hot Sunday. Slow walk with several stops in Silleda, Bandeiro and Ponte Ulla. Several ascends and descends including the last one to Outeiro. Most shops were closed as well as some bars.
Stayed in Outeiro in Xunta albergue. New building with two dormitories away from any...
Galicia's albergues.
We stayed in Xunta's albergues in A Gudina, Laza, Xunqueira de Ambia, Ourense, Cea, A Laxe and Outeiro.
All very warm in the evenings and at nights. Heaters/radiators were turned at some time in the evening.
All were very well kept and usually in new or renovated buildings...

Dinner at the local social bar was great yesterday. So we jumped in there also in the morning.
There were 8+ other people in the albergue last jnight. Part to Campobecerros was difficult because of rain and a strong, cold wind on top of the hills with no cover. It was like walking in...

Yesterday Jose prepared supper and today we had breakfast. Apart from the three of us there were two Spanish and one Italian pilgrims.
First day with the sun and shadows since Sunday.
Our goal was Villar de Farfon and Albergue Reheboth. Due to the long distance we took a shortcut...
Hey
From Olleros de Tera to Villar de Farfon there are at least three paths to the dam on Tera river (Presa Agavanzal). All with arrows.
1.
The blue one seems the best (see picture).
2.
The one for bikes could be also easy (turn left at sign and follow the road).
3.
The one closest to...

Late start after coffee and breakfast with friends in Salamanca. I went to Calzada de Valdunciel and stayed in Albergue La Casa del Molinero. Some sticky mud was present along the route after yesterdays rains. Was alone and got bed in a double room. Nice albergue. Owner also runs...

One more comment from yesterday - bar Sebas in Adeanueva does great food. Dish of the day - cod with potatoes on Wednesdays - is worth trying.
Short stage to Valverde de Valdelacasa with a stop in Calzada de Bejar for coffee.
Albergue Nenufar in VdV is closed.
Stayed in municipal - a...
Hey,
They could be those if they were in Finca Berrueto. Later that day I also met one friendly lying on the road next to the farmgate on the left.
The latter was very polite.
Side notes before next update:
Nenufar albergue in Valverde de Valdelacasa is closed - there is Municipal.
And Senora Elena in Carcaboso seems to have problems with hot water.
Pedrosillo's municipal on the other hand has issues with electricity.
And some albergues are just cold.
Hey, I passed it - turned right after the bridge.
However the other Pilgrim that I walk with said he went there and it was closed. The same was said by Hospitalera in Casar de Caceres.
Gronze also lists it as closed.
Hey, some more below. Hello from Aldeanueva del Camino
