    Back on the silver road again

    You can start on the right hand route and cross over to the left (which adds about 5km, I think), which is recommended by the German guide book because the scenery on the left is supposedly nicer. We ended up staying on the right hand route and it was so nice that we were having a hard time...

    Vía de la Plata as a first camino

    I walked from Ourense as my first camino. It is as good as impossible to get lost, the arrows are everywhere; I used OsmAnd on my phone and turned on map markers, which shows the camino route in blue, but I barely ever needed it beyond checking how much further it was to go on any given day.

    Santiago - Ourense travel

    Santiago - Ourense travel

    I'm currently confused and alarmed by what the Renfe website is showing me. When planning the Ourense-Santiago stage of the VdlP/Sanabrés, I was looking at a random Saturday to see how many trains would run from Santiago to Ourense, and it looked like there was one roughly every 30 minutes.
