    Bus from O Cebreiro to Sarria

    Hi I would recommend to take a bus to Lugo and continue from there by bus or train to Sarria. There is no direct bus from Cebreiro. You should walk to Piedrafita do Cebreiro which is about 1 km from Cebreiro. It is lower than Cebreiro but still on top of a pass. Should be easy to walk This is on...

In bars, public building (washroom)... on fountains -unless it says "no drinking water" or similar. If the locals can drink it, so can I. This has worked...

    Using Cards or Cash?

    A Camino Race - Really

    Will it be followed by competitive praying? This pilgrims race must be an April's Fool thing? As a long distance race (my respect to all who have the stamina and endurance to make it) it sounds certainly more spectacular with the word "pilgrim" in it. But this is the only thing it has in...
