    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Second Walk Back home in Salamanca. The same 6 stages once again, but this time with my good friends Juanjo and Victor (which definitely means more beer and wine!). The only difference with my first walk a couple of weeks ago is that this time we stayed in the Hotel Miracastro in Castro...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    There were two workers also staying at the Casa do Conde. They are reforming the top floor, and it was touch and go whether we would have rooms available for this coming Friday, but they phoned me (they're on holiday in Cádiz!) to say that the work won't start until October. Lovely people and a...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    That would be Luma Grill. We tried to have something to eat there on the Sunday evening, but they told us that we would have to wait 45 minutes. We therefore crossed back to the Lusitano and had an excellent (and cheap) cheeseboard and a couple of glasses of wine.

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Day 6 Breakfast at 7 o'clock and we set off around 07:30. I forgot to say that 3 Portuguese pilgrims had turned up in Cortegada the previous evening. Nice people. They had arrived in Castro Laboreiro in the early afternoon and had then taken a taxi all the way to Cortegada (60+ euros!)...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Day 5 They didn't start serving breakfast until 8 o'clock in the hotel, so we left later than we would have preferred, knowing that this was going to be a long long stage. We stocked up on a few things like fruit and cakes from the buffet, as there is absolutely nothing all the way to Cortegada...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    My swollen ankle kept me away from doing any more walking that day, but next Thursday I'll be back there and will heed your advice!

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Day 4 7 o'clock breakfast in the Lusitano bar, then off down to cross the River Limia and climb up behind the gasolinera. Entrimo (also called Terrachán) has a few places to stop at. Then you head off the road and down to a small bridge and stream before going up the other side to A Pereira...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Do you mean the castle in Castro Laboreiro? That was the following day. My ankle was fine once it warmed up and I got walking.

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Day 3 We had breakfast included in the Albergaria Stop, but we wanted to leave fairly early and Carla kindly prepared us a picnic with sandwiches, fruit, cake and fruit juice. After climbing up out of Campo do Geres you soon come to the vast reservoir, and then have a beautiful walk alongside...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    Day 2 One of the disadvantages of staying in Terras de Bouro is that after hiking all the way down the previous day you then have to start the following stage by climbing back up! Still, it was going to be a relatively short stage, so we took things calmly. It's a pretty steep ascent up to...

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    OK, here we go. I won't go into incredible detail, as a few of you have already posted about these stages. Day 1 We drove up very early from Salamanca to Ribadavia and left the car in front of the Hotel Garden Lodge, where I've stayed previously. Then we caught the 10:24 train to Guillarei...

    Some excellent wine was drunk, Mark!

    Braga to Ribadavia Twice This Month!

    After having walked the stages from Ribadavia to Santiago 5 times it was about time I started out from Braga! My wife and I walked from Braga to Terras de Bouro, then to Campo do Geres, on to Lobios, up to Castro Laboreiro, all the way to Cortegada, and then down to Ribadavia. Just as everyone...

    More Accommodation on the Geira e dos Arrieiros

    I posted a few months ago about the re-opening of the hotel in A Estrada (Hotel A Estrada Rooms). Well, here are another couple of additions: 1. In Codeseda, if Fran Liste has no space available for pilgrims in his two wonderful casas rurales (he's now full until the end of summer), there is...

    La Estrada (Hotel now open)

    From La Voz de Galicia: https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/deza/a-estrada/2023/03/04/hotel-estrada-rooms-abrira-puertas-lunes-reservas/0003_202303D4C7991.htm

    La Estrada (Hotel now open)

    I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned anywhere else, but the Hotel Don Juan, closed for some time, has been taken over and re-opened. By all accounts, it's run by a lovely couple (Tania and I don't know her partner's name). A useful alternative if the excellent A Bombilla is full. Here's...

    One way to walk the Geira

    They only walked part of the last stage with their Roman costumes, just 2 or 3 kilometres from Santiago.

    Geira in the news

    Whilst most of us perfectly understand what Carlos is saying (and he has expressed these views from the heart incredibly eloquently), I honestly feel that the association should reconsider. Surely it would make more sense to reinstate the information about the stages and accommodation, together...
