    Cold nights in summer?

    I'd bring something warm. From Astorga ro SdC we experienced many chilly night in July 2023. The air temp was comfy, but there was wind and that seemed to bring the temp down much more. Out of O Cebreiro I though my hands were going to get frost bite in the early morning walk out of town. I...

    Where to stay in O Cebreiro

    Slower [easier?!] route from Astorga to Sarria?

    Be wary of the "scenic" routes. Yes, they are scenic but the elevation gain to see the scenery is a challenge. We overnighted in Villafranca del bierzo. When crossing the bridge you go straight to Pereje or turn right for a steep climb to Pradela, +1.7km overall for the stage. I didn't...
