    Early choices

    If I leave Ponferrada early enough to arrive in Villavieja and spend some time at the castle Cornatel, can I leave the next day, spend some meaningful time beholding las Medulas and Orellan, and still get to puente de Domingo Florez?

    Astorga

    Back in 2017 it was! We arrived in Astorga during siesta on a Sunday, so it was a bit tricky to find one, but there was a kind driver who was willing to drive us after searching and being pilgrim patient.

    Ourense Detour?

    Thanks for the help!

    Ourense Detour?

    Thanks for all the creative thinking. Because the Invierno is somewhat shorter than two weeks, i thought I’d take a bus from Chantada to Ourense. If I do that, do I lose the chance to get the credencial? (If it does, that would be ok.) Because the Invierno is shorter than two weeks, I thought...

    Ourense Detour?

    I find myself intrigued by the idea of detouring to Ourense from Chantada and following the Sanabres until the two join together at a Lalin. Has anyone done this or given it consideration?

    Primitivo. Vs Invierno?

    After having walked the Del Mar and the last third of the Frances , I’m considering between Primitivo and Invierno for a Sept/Oct walk. I’ve read many descriptions of both and some old comparisons. Wondering about how the two compare lately; difficulty, support, crowds, flexibility of stages...

    Braga to Santiago via an alternative way.

    Since becoming an official route in 2021, how has the infrastructure improved; signage, cafes, hostels etc? It appears from the older posts that there are significant gaps.

    Getting to Ribadeo to do the Camino do Mar

    Madrid to Oviedo/Asturias. They call it both but Aviles is closer than Oviedo.

    Getting to Ribadeo to do the Camino do Mar

    We faced the same issue in 2022 and decided to stay at a hostel in Ribadeo that offered shuttle service from the airport for a charge. Worked well. Enjoy the DelMar. It’s awe inspiring!

    Ruta Do Mar

    Hi Chris, My friend and I walked the CdM in Oct of '22 and shared expenses at the hostels to keep the costs down. I basically did all reservations through Booking.com There is one albergue on the route and it is in Viveiro which is run by Oliva Lopez Hermida. (She is also the adm of the CdM...

    Get to Know the Camino del Mar

    My friend and I booked ahead given the uncertainty of the route. We then we’re able to split the cost which made it only slightly more pricey than a typical municipal Albergue.
