I walked from Ourense last year and I booked accomodation beforehand because I was on my own and wanted to make sure I had somewhere each night. I didn't do the monastery detour mainly because it would have made a long day. I did stay in Lalin but I was picked up at Estacion de Lalin (Lalin...

Hi Thanks fo rthe Summary. In June I plan to walk Ourense to Santiago AND I was just about to ask what the best guide books were for if there was good signs or arrows. I have always used CSJ guides for walks and so was considering that one.
