    Anyone that gets a chance - try the croissants too! They were indeed fit for a reina.

    Isn’t that always the problem 😅

    Thank you! If you have any specific questions coming up just tag and I’ll try my best to answer. Buen Camino!

    Climate change is unfortunately wrecking havoc in Europe with random heatwaves and a lot of rain. While I get that rain isn’t great for tourism it is fantastic for the environment. It rained pretty much all summer in Germany last year and our groundwater reserves still never filled up more than...

    I forgot the exact numbers but Daniel in Lalin showed me the statistics for the last few years (comparing with the Sanabres) and the Invierno had more people this year for the first time ever. Lots of newcomers too - he said their reasons were a mix between “not as busy as the Frances” and “two...

    Swap Bandeira for Silleda and you got yourself a fantastically equipped kitchen. Diamondi has microwaves and a stovetop - but not even a glass or fork in sight. What worked well here was a pre-prepared tortilla that only needs microwave and a salad. Something like this here...

    That’s a pretty good idea! We always carry durable plastic plates, forks, spoons and a decent knife. They weight next to nothing and have come in super handy. Also some herbs and spices in falcon tubes have improved our albergue cooking ventures significantly. It’s a shame really, imagine the...

    Day 14: Santiago! The last 12km into Santiago seemed to pass in an instant. And there it was - the cathedral. The Camino the Invierno has treated us to fantastic views, outstanding nature and numerous encounters with some of the nicest people you can imagine. Although there has been a fair...

    Day 13: Silleda to Deseiro Last challenge before reaching Santiago - the descent and subsequent ascent of Ponte Ulla. Thanks to the fantastic rest at Santa Olaia and the interesting talks with our new Camino buddy Uli we didn’t struggle even remotely as much as anticipated. In fact, we felt...

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this Camino it’s how to say “cows are shit” in Hungarian. Lots of laughter to be had that day. Also, apparently girl cows have horns too.

    Day 12: Lalin to Silleda Short day today from Lalin to Silleda. Leaving Lalin must be one of the nicest trails leaving a larger town on the whole camino - wide comfortable trails through a very well kept park. Until you hit the industrial outskirts but even here the trail isn’t too bad. Not...

    LIVE from the Camino Kitchens in the Albergues in the Camino de Invierno

    @Filippo05ff - I’ve included kitchen descriptions for most stages in my live from the Camino thread. Most are fairly well equipped (Villavieja, Xagoaza, Monforte, Rodeiro, Lalin, Silleda) until you hit the typical Xunta albergues (Diamondi, Bandeiras, Outeiro). If you have a knife and ideally a...

    Day 11: Rodeiro to Lalin Stilled holed up in Leon with a pretty persistent tonsillitis but at least I have a chance to catch up with the final Invierno stages. Ok night at Carpinteiras followed by an easy walk to Lalin. Today was pretty flat and the walking was done either on the road or on...

    Im sorry for the late reply - we made it to Santiago but I got sick during the last couple of days. I’ll try to finish the series as soon as the fever gets better. Your stages look great but I’d have a couple of quick suggestions: Diamondi to Chantada is a very short day and I didn’t find...

    Have a look at this picture here from the Diamondi church. It’s a Virgen standing on top of a snake. The hospitaliera explained that this is a very uncommon depiction of a Virgin but things that it pertains to Mary being all innocent and therefore above the temptation of Eve. My religious...

    Day 10: Vilaseco - Rodeiro Today was a hard day. While the hike up to Mount Faro is absolutely doable (and well worth it), the rest of the way to Rodeiro is long. We hit over 30c by lunchtime and there’s not much shade to be had. My suggestion is an early start out of Vilaseco to allow you...

    Day 9: Diamondi - Pansanillas (Hotel Vilaseco) Great nights rest at Diamondi. The albergue has a fantastic layout so all of us had their own areas for themselves. The radiators kept the cold out pretty well too. Still, I’d bring an actual sleeping bag if you are staying here very late / early...
