    My Invierno September 2018

    Thanks K1. Left Lalin and walked to Ponte Ulla (35km). It was mainly down hill and a very pleasant route. Stopped in Silleda (15km) for a break. Checked into Hostal Churrasco (15euros single room). Very clean. Had stayed there last year when doing the Sanabres. Santiago in the morning (20km)...

    My Invierno September 2018

    The walk from Rodeiro to Lalin was not too long (21km) along mainly country lanes and farm track. A thunder and lightning storm was threatening but thankfully it didn’t develop as I left Rodeiro. There were no real climbs for the first time on this camino. Stayed in Hotel El Palacio. 32euros for...

    My Invierno September 2018

    Today’s walk for me from Chantada to Rodeiro was basically a climb for the first half up to Monte Faro and then a steady descent down to Rodeiro. The climb does seem to go on with the odd sharp push here and there. At the top you are presented with great views and most of the way down but the...

    My Invierno September 2018

    Quiorga to Monforte for me clocked 36km. I have found P2000 all you’re distances on your guide extremely accurate. Today for me from Monforte to Chantada had a fair amount of road, most of which was quiet and small country lanes. The first 10 km were a gradual climb and the second 10km steeper...

    My Invierno September 2018

    Left Quiorga at 7 20pm ( with head torch on!) and was relieved it was a little overcast as the first 9km is a climb! Once you get off the main road you start climbing continually. The views are not as good as the previous days as your in pine forests. It took me nearly two hours to reach the...

    My Invierno September 2018

    Left A Rua around 7 45am and found myself after a short while enjoying wonderful views looking down on Rio Sil. There was not a cloud in the sky and not a breeze. I realised how privileged I was to be here enjoying such a spectacular experience. I stopped after about 15km where there is an...

    I was happy to pay the 25euros. They were so helpful and pleasant. Good food there in the comerdor!

    My Invierno September 2018

    I stayed Hostel La Torre in Puente de Domingo Florez. Rooms are 18euros sharing bathroom and 25euros with en suite. You have to walk a little out of town but it’s very friendly. The owner/manager gave me a hard copy of the Invierno Guide for free. I was so impressed. If you stay there the...

    My Invierno September 2018

    Twenty nine days after leaving Alicante and following the amazing Camino del Sureste I find myself in Ponferrada- the starting point of the Invierno. I’ve been really looking after what I’d read about it. The day and a half I spent on the French Camino was a bit of a shock to the system after so...
