    Memorable Climbs

    Not the longest, but the climb out of Peso de Regua on the Torres is brutal. The reward is a sensational walk along the Douro valley.

    Ruta Natural del Cantabrico/Camino do Mar/Ribadeo to A Coruna

    No, it seems that the hotels in the area expect 2 nights - both Valdovino Express and A Torre do Lago (as well as others a bit further out). Casa Rural La Gallega - a bit further out of town and a bit more expensive offers rooms for one night on the dates I checked in July. Ortigueira to...

    Ruta Natural del Cantabrico/Camino do Mar/Ribadeo to A Coruna

    Thank you. Hardly any vacancies in Valdovino in July. Probably because of surfing crowd. The only one I can find requires a minimum of two nights.

    Ruta Natural del Cantabrico/Camino do Mar/Ribadeo to A Coruna

    First off, I haven't looked for communal sleeping, as a good nights sleep in my own room is fundamental for me to have a good days walking. Not saying you can't get a good nights sleep communal, I don't want to take the risk (I think the discussion is well covered on this forum). Also, I didn't...

    That map's the Torre Vilariño loop that Laurie was talking about.

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    A few more nitpicky points. The CR in Piñeiro, which I am not familiar with, is 750 m off camino according to gronze. I don’t see any advantage to foregoing a chance to stay in Torre Vilariño, the very first Casa Rural in Galicia (or maybe Spain), inaugurated by none other than the one and...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Thanks all! Let me try to get my head around the Monforte-Chantada stretch. First, Monforte doesn't sound unmissable to me as an overnight stop (El Greco is not a big enough draw). Though the problem with continuing further is that the timing won't be right the next day to see inside this...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    That would also give time to head to the miradouros on the way, though maybe not time to walk your 6km loop (which should change now anyway to include Miradouro II). This is also very feasible. I got to Diomondi after walking from Monforte and taking the detour out to the miradouros. My plan...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Second what Laurie says. And ... you could drag your feet or have a lazy morning at Torre Vilariño, and get to Diamondi by, say, 12.30. That gives time to take in the outside and then see the inside - and then go down to Belesar and up to Chantada long before dark.

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    I think Monforte is a very nice town, good ambiente, pilgrim office!, good restaurants, nice parks, several albergues (although both are a bit out of the center, one back by the train station and the other about 700 m on the way out according to Gronze). The main tourist attraction, other than...

    Route options; going left at Ávila, Spain

    ...there is Ruta Teresiana which takes you to close to Salamanca at Alba de Tormes. May be easier to follow that route (signs/accomodation etc) https://rutateresiana.com/en/the-route/stages/ And this thread https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/accommodation-on-camino-torres.85619/

    Is the Camino too crowded?

    ...the stretch from Trinidad de Arre to Logrono was *very very* busy. I stayed "off stage" in places like Uterga, Villa Major de Mojardin, and Torres del Rio and avoided booking until the people in the Dutch albergue in Monjardin advised me to secure a room for the next day in Torres del Rio...

    A longer option for O Barco to A Rua

    Monforte is a nice town, a big town, and I did a short stage there because I had reservations in the parador and wanted to explore the city more. I wound up not going on the Escolapios tour (El Greco will never be a huge motivator for me, and the rest just didn’t seem so compelling). I had bad...

    Hotel Torre de Núñez

    Thanks

    Hotel Torre de Núñez

    The Hotel Torre de Núñez I am thinking of is close to the Via Kunig route just outside Lugo. Its more than 30km away from Ferrerios on the CF (the Sarria to Portomarin section). Using the directions feature on Google maps it's a 30 minute drive. So it I'd well off route and a fair distance to...

    Hotel Torre de Núñez

    Has anyone used this hotel? It is near Ferrerios on the Camino Frances. How is the hotel and is it close to the Camino? Found it on Google Maps but I can't determine how near to the Camino.

    Advice Requested on Hiking to Fatima from Lisboa via the Camhino Português

    ...in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. The "new" Central/Fátima switching variants, heading North, are : Entroncamento > Fátima via Torres Novas and Fátima > Areias via Seiça (this looks particularly practical, though the waymarkers would be pointing in the "wrong" direction) ---...

    Lebaniego

    I walked this route a few years ago, 2016. If you have time (and you like that sort of thing) there is an excellent museum in Potes in the torre del infantado, a medieval building in the centre of the town with an exhibition on the life and works of Beatus de Lebaniego which I thought was...
