    LIVE from the Camino O Camiño dos Faros

    I stayed at Hotel Fonte do Fraile. The room was nice and there was a garden and an inside gathering place. They also had breakfast at 8 the next morning. Stopped at Y Barra for a good meal and an awesome four layered chocolate cake. Stage 1 ends at a beach with nothing around so a taxi has...

    LIVE from the Camino O Camiño dos Faros

    O Peracha, going from Muxia to Malpica would be hard to follow the trail since the small arrows or dots would be usually impossible to see. You could always use the track on Wikiloc or another app since it shows where you’re located. If you’re on a beach or road, no problem, otherwise I think...

    LIVE from the Camino O Camiño dos Faros

    After completing the Olvidado and the Invierno I stayed two nights in Santiago then took three buses to Malpica, the start of the O Camiño dos Faros—the Lighthouse Way. The first bus left at 7am to A Coruña. The next went to Carballo and the last to Malpica arriving about 11am on October 11...

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno

    Talked the three other peregrinos into taking a taxi with me to Penasillas. I didn’t want to go the 26 kilometers because of the former ankle problem. Taxi cost 10 euros. Slight rain, then fog then drizzle rain at Alto do Faro. Could hardly see the ermita. Could hear the windmills but...

    In Monforte stayed at the MON come y sueña. Doesn’t serve meals since the pandemic but did have breakfast. At Piñeiro, church bells rang at 10:45 and mass at 11 that Sunday morning. Stayed at Torre Vilariño. Big room and the best meal I’ve had on the Invierno. Breakfast available early for...

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno

    The alternative goes down to Las Médulas which is the way I went. The route was closed at La Cuevona because of potential rocks falling but there is a well used path just before. There may be a road walk to join back to the Camino bypassing Las Médulas but it doesn’t plook any shorter since it...

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno

    Usually book ahead usually three or more days since there seem to be more peregrinos than I’ve seen since leaving Bilbao. I either call directly or will use booking.com if it’s easier. However many times booking.com doesn’t have anything in the place I plan to stay. Sometimes the price may be...

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno

    After completing the Camino Olvidado, spent two nights in Ponferrada, leaving on a Sunday morning. In Toral de Merayo cafe and bakery open a little after nine. Arrived at Castillo de Cornatel a little after 2pm and was closed to visitors, reopening at 4pm. Maybe it was the look on my face but...
