Yes, the zigzag is a great technique. I used it on the climb up out of Ourense last month - to the amusement of some Spanish pilgrims - but it makes the steep climbs so much less challenge.
I walked this route last month in the snow so the way up to the pass was tough and markers hard to see.
I didn’t have too many problems with arrows and markers on the Sanabres but I do tend to get lost in the solitude and pleasure of walking - so in order to avoid missed arrows and...
When was this? A month ago I spent 2 hours at the Zamora bus station trying to find the Alsa service to Granja based on an old post - they don’t service it now - see my previous post in this thread which refers to my post in the earlier thread. They are # 11 in both threads. I give the...
Hi Jill - The way this was - I turned left onto the (old new ) track and then noticed one set of boot tracks in the snow ( small so I thought it was a woman ahead of me) ) after a while I noticed the dear tracks and then one set of paw prints zig zagging along the trail off and on. That evening...
Walked this through the snow ( not yet deep) on Easter Sunday which made it an even more beautiful walk. Most people stuck to the road but a couple of us took the trail off to the left before the flyovers. Deer footprints and what I am pretty sure were wolf prints in the snow. A very memorable...
I was going to taxi to Laza from and back to but the weather out of A Gudiña was really wild and so another pilgrim and I got a taxi to Venda de Bolaño and walked to Laza from there. We walked in mist and rain to Campobecerros so missed some good scenery but luckily it cleared just before the...
Well done Miaka for finding that final part of the trail - I had completely lost it at the end and just had to bush bash my way up to the road three weeks ago - I quite enjoyed the walk and was glad my Wikiloc alert had stopped me going along the road but it was before the heavy rain - I can...
My update on this thread -
I travelled by bus from Zamora to Granja de Moreruela yesterday 21 March at 2.00 pm. .
Initially I tried to buy the ticket from Vivas as per the information in earlier replies. It seems that they no longer offer that service - but after being persistently annoying...
The numbers app on your iPhone/ipad has a travel template in which you can create an itinerary.
Last year my children asked for an itinerary- I doubt they looked at it . I gave them permission on my iPhone to access my location - I doubt they ever checked it. Perhaps if I didn’t send a photo...
Thank you C clearly - I think Alsa operate that route but,although it passes through Granja de Moreruela, it seems to be a direct (non stop) between Zamora and Benavente.
I’m sure I’ve seen the answer in the affirmative to this question somewhere ,and saved it , but can’t find it now.
Does anyone know if there is a bus from Zamora to Granja de Moreruela or must one bus to Pozuela de Tábara and then get a taxi?
Thank you, I have booked my accommodation in a pensión for that weekend but I wanted to be back on the move on the Monday. I am not planning on staying in albergues.
Thanks, but I am a tad confused about why one would travel back to Zamora from PdS or train to Ourense , that seems like a big chunk of the Sanabrés. I confess that I am tempted to train or bus Salamanca to Zamora and Zamora to Granja de Moruela ( the official start of the Sanabrés). That would...
