    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    Regardless of the Guide you purchase, if you’re walking the invierno (in particular) I recommend you don’t relying solely on any guide. The route and information is changing regularly as more people walk that route. We found last year that when comparing 3 guides (all online apps), they all...

    Camino Invierno - Day 9 Outeiro to Santiago de Compostela. The Final Day of what has been an extremely enjoyable walk. Ambled the last 17km into SdC on a cool and overcast day. It starts well with continuation of country side walking, sadly, all to quickly you’re in SdC and walking through...

    Hi @peregrina2000 the young Hospitalera has a key to the church and is happy to let you in, show you around and explain some of the history. I’m thinking I’m feeling maybe another Invierno bubbling away in someone’s think…?

    Someone asked how many Caminos there are. In last nights Albergue came across this list. Apologies for the photo quality.

    Agree Robo I hope people are not put off by 1 day (and it was only 1 day’s) bad experience with a couple dogs. It is a beautiful walk. Tough in parts, absolutely. Infrastructure limited in parts, sure, but it looks like it’s developing. A bit of forward planning needed to stay in Albergues...

    Update, 3 young German guys and a young Spanish lass have just arrived. It’s near 18:00 so not expecting many more. Plenty of beds to choose from. Only 1 of the dormitories has been used.

    Just me. It’s only 17km to Santiago, plus the lack of food nearby and no cooking utensils etc may put people off. I carry a plastic knife/fork and spoon set (from flying tiger) plus a pocket knife with corkscrew. If you can live with a salad, cheese, chorizos, salami etc meal or maybe a...

    Some photos of the Albergue in Outeiro. The last one is the offending shower. May not be to everyone’s liking (open setup)

    Camino Invierno - Day 8 - Silleda to Outeiro. 25km, generally flat through rural/farm land. When leaving Silleda I skipped the first 2 side routes, they were rocking horse diversions. The major turning point to the right I followed and thereafter stuck to the sign posted (and WPG) routes...

    Camino Invierno - Day 7 - Rodeiro to Silleda. This would have to be one of the best days walking on any of the Caminos I’ve completed. The scenery was stunning, matched by the 4 or 5km walk out of Lalín. They have done a cracking job along the river. Two observations about the route. As you...

    Both were near dwellings. I wasn’t particularly hanging around waiting for the owners. I suspect they are some what deaf to the barking and growling. Thank goodness for the stick I had for the first dog. But I’m not keen on suggesting people get too aggressive with these dogs. They may get...

    Camino Invierno - Day 6 - San Paio de Diomondi to Rodeiro. A day only for the feint hearted. Hardest part, first 3 hours. Extremely steep descent on what looks to be an old Roman stone road. Followed by a climbed that is equally challenging (including variations that different to the WPG)...

    Day 5 (Part B) When you’re coming into Monteforte de Limos you’ll come to a T-junction with 2 options (none of which mirror the WPG - see attached photos). I opted for the primary route (not alternativo). Think the was about 2km difference between the 2). That’s the route to the left. If...

    Apologies meant to add. You get sheets and pillowcases (the real thing).

    Day 5 A Pobra do Brollon to San Paio de Diomondi. If you’re staying in San Paio (and you should, the Albergue is a cracker) get some food on the way. There is a big Gadis supermarket in Montforte de Limos. But, and it’s a big but the Albergue doesnt have any cooking pots, utensils, plates...

    First 3 days didn’t see another pilgrim. Day 4 we saw 5. Day 6 we saw 7. Day 7 we saw 4. All different pilgrims. Very few people walking. The Albergues all require you to contact them at least 1 day in advance and in some cases 2 days. Not having a Spanish phone number was a bit painful. Not...
