    Albergue in Villavieja

    Hi there, The lock was broken, would not open, nothing to be done on a Sunday. They give you the contact of the caretaker in the castle and I called but all she could do was call maintenance and she didn’t have high hopes. It was my choice to move along as I didn’t want to be walking in the...

    Invierno - My Best Albergue Ever? - Video Tour

    Think twice before booking on a weekend...code didn't work for me on a Sunday and no one could open up for me. The women at the castle was very nice but couldn't leave her post and she had the same code I did, I guess they had been having trouble with the code......this was in winter so off...

    Thank you Laurie, As you can read my two inviernos are tributes to the information from this unique forum, reading here at Ivar's feels like being on the Camino with out a doubt. @Karin309's daily posts are what inspired me to write as I walked instead of at the end of the camino, to run into...

    Invierno February 2023 I will now try to summarize my camino hoping to remember details of a more factual nature. My daily log was more personal. I will also include memories of my invierno in 2019. I tracked my walk with the iPhone app 'Map my walk' I'm happy to share if I can figure out...

    Yes!! I had to look it up with the time stamp. This place must flood easy, we haven't had rain for a month well now today, and it was very wet. I was lucky overall just amazing weather but I still got to use my poncho justifying dragging it along!!

    Invierno day 11 A Ponte Ulla - Santiago I made it!! Today was just what I'd hoped for, a gentle walk to Santiago. Rain loomed the whole morning but never amounted to much so I can't complain, weather was on my side my entire camino. I made a stop at Reina Lupa and low and behold my first...

    Thank you to all who shared concern about my foot, as I was thinking about maybe walking in my crocs I realized they didn't hurt because they were loose, I tied my shoes on the loose side and had no trouble at all. With how the day went...I was lucky!!

    Invierno day 10 Espiño- A Ponte Ulla Today was a day of wonder for me. If you have been along for this ride of mine you have read of my one truth that we are all connected. So today I fell and I fell hard. Of course it wasn't in a forrest or slipping on a rock hopping a stream...it was on the...

    Update I managed to get out after listening to the sounds of parades and singing. No nap for me. I’m glad I did, It is so nice to see people in the street celebrating. I couldn’t help but think that this is the first Carnaval for many. All ages were dancing with the music. Lots of’police’...

    22 for a room with a bath, 15 peregrino. I went for my own bathroom. The renovation is nice (I haven’t been here before) not an expensive one but the room is bright and very clean!!
