    Ourense to SdC

    Make sure to take the longer route via Oseira would be my tip. The stretch from Ourense is a good one a but without much in the way of sights, so it would be a shame to miss the monastery. There is a new(ish) Xunta albergue there if I recall.

    Via del la Plata in early Sept - who else will be there.

    Salamanca is about halfway, and is a lovely city with one of Europe's oldest universities and a Plaza Mayor second to none.

    Sanabres - Cea - A Laxe Oct 2021 accommodation

    I think the 37km is based on going via Oseira. The other route shortens the walk by c5km. There are normally options a few km after Cea and at Estacion de Lalin before A Laxe, which would bring the day within your maximum. You would need to walk slightly further on the stage from Ourense. I...

    100km...start Ourense or Vigo or..?

    I second the recommendation for Ourense. You probably need a bit more planning for accommodation than CP and CF, but I have done it twice and prefer it to the CP last 100.

    Camino Zamorano Portuguese

    I posted a brief report after walking this route last year. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/report-on-the-camino-bragancera-camino-portuguese-de-la-via-de-la-plata.55340/post-702090 I must have enjoyed it as I am off to do the Camino Torres at the start of May (or the memory...

    Report on the Camino Bragancera (Camino Portuguese de la Via de la Plata)

    Thank you for the kind comment. I read your account and it sounded like a real adventure! One of the things I enjoyed was the absence of a guide which meant that this camino was full of surprises since there was no one telling you what to expect. I think I will need a few more caminos under my...

    Report on the Camino Bragancera (Camino Portuguese de la Via de la Plata)

    Hi Raggy I'm afraid I don't recall whether the church in Almendra had a porch. The countryside around was very open with little cover and only the odd basic agricultural structures which it would be unwise to use without permission. Down towards the reservoir there is scrub woodland but if you...

    I was one of a group of three who walked this route from Zamora to Verin from 23rd April to 01 May. We continued to Santiago on the Sanabres but this report is restricted to the less commonly walked stretch. I am posting it in the hope that it will be useful for anyone contemplating walking this...

    Information on the Portuguese route from Zamora to Verin

    I am planning to walk this route in April. The CSJ guide is out of print, and searching online I haven't turned up anything except the stages on a site called "Ray y Rosa". Is anyone aware of a guide or other resource that could help along the way? Many Thanks

    Camino Sanabres from the Frances

    At the start of April there was no activity on the railway between Zamora and Granja. The only part of the Sanabres where we had any issues was the walk out of Gudina where there was a lot of works traffic. The drivers were courteous and gave us space so it didn't spoil what ws a lovely stretch...

    Credencial stamp in Salamanca

    Thank you for the kind replies. This is a first for me so I wanted to finish in Santiago. I also visited Caceres and Merida a few years ago, so the places I most want to visit along the way are are Salamanca and Zamora. I hope to be able to do a full Camino some time in the future. Regards

Can I get a stamp from the cathedral on the Saturday (26th) even though I won;t actually have started or do you need to wait until your first stop on the actual...
