    Casa Rosa in Puente de Domingo Flórez?

    Great to know, and very interesting about not being on Gronze (I always wondered why Izarbide wasn't on there as well!!). I now tend to rely on Gronze when researching/planning a Camino, so I'd also think that it would be a great place to "advertise"! That being said, even without being on...

    Albergue in DIOMONDI will open next week!!!

    Oh geez, all of these new albergues are making me want to attempt the Invierno again this summer. I mean, I just walked it last summer but then again, I didn't get to do the full thing. All of this great albergue news is tempting me!!

    LIVE from the Camino @Harminia on the Invierno!!

    I stayed here last summer and agree that Guty is so kind and generous. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more of your journey, Buen Camino!

    O Pillaban, a Rua & Hostal la Torre, Puente de Domingo Flórez

    Hostal La Torre was open in August 2021... so hopefully that means they are currently open or will be open by the time you walk!

    ANOTHER new private albergue in Chantada

    That's it, I'm going to have to plan another walk on the Invierno!! Thanks for this breaking news :)

    New Albergue in Chantada

    Very great and exciting news, thank you for posting! Adding it to my list for the next time I walk the Invierno...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    Eek!! This IS a bit eerie, what if we even stayed in the same room??? I also looked up the medical center and was very close to going (a friend in Madrid called for me to see if I needed to make an appointment or could just show up); I told myself that if I didn't feel better by the morning...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I don't think I need to add anything to what @Albertagirl @peregrina2000 and @Theatregal have already said, because I agree with it all! I never felt unsafe on this Camino, and it's true, the waymarking might have been the best on any Camino I've ever walked. Truly, there are arrows and signs...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I'm sitting here, trying and trying to remember if I saw anything. I *think* that I saw a sign indicating the way to Pension Pacita, with no mention of it being closed but I could be wrong. But I seem to remember thinking that I could take a detour if I wanted to try for some food, but I knew I...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I agree, I breathed a BIG sigh of relief when I got my negative COVID test result back before flying home. Being sick and on the Camino is never fun, but with all the walking I've done over the years, sometimes you just get a little unlucky. And this was definitely the lesser of two evils. I...

    I'm glad this helps with the anticipation of your walk!! Which Camino route will you be on? I hope you have an amazing time!

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I'd thought about trying to stay in that albergue, but it ended up being better (for me, anyway) to stay in a private room when I got hit with the food poisoning. Next time I walk this route, I'd love to stay in Casa Rosa! Thanks for the tip, this will be good for future pilgrims!

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    @Albertagirl I think I read a post of yours or saw photos of your walk on the Invierno when you seemed to be in constant rain, oh my. Even though I got sick on this one, I have to say that the weather came through in a big way. A little hot on a couple of afternoons, but just such beautiful days...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    Thank you!! It's true, being sick is never fun (and in the moment it feels just awful), but I tried to take the food poisoning in stride, and just focused on trying to get better. And, eventually, I did! I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos and photos, I just have so much fun taking them! And I'm...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I do hope you'll both make it onto the Invierno in October, I can imagine it would be so beautiful then! I hope you keep us posted :) I'm not sure if it makes me feel better that others can relate to the food poisoning incident (well, it does make me feel not so alone!), or badly that it's...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    Thank you so much @Theatregal, I'm also so glad that I was able to take extra days in Puente de Domingo Flores to heal and recover. AND pleased that I was able to continue on- the second half of my walk was when I finally settled in, and now makes me want to redo the first half to see what the...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    I'm so happy you'll be on the Invierno soon, I hope you have a wonderful experience (I'm sure it will be!!) You're so right about food poisoning... when is it NOT sudden? And my walk on the day I wasn't feeling well was like an exercise in visualization, I trained all of my thoughts on the...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    Hello forum members! I’m back in the States after about 4-weeks in Spain, and I’m ALREADY missing the Camino. I walked the Primitivo, then took a train to Astorga and walked for a few days on the Francés to Ponferrada, where I branched off onto the Invierno. This forum was invaluable in...

    Camino Invierno july 9th 2021

    I'm following this thread, and Bad Pilgrim's thread as well (can't figure out how to tag people here!) with great interest. I'm most likely going to attempt a walk on the Invierno in early August, and am taking detailed notes at the moment. These updates are helping tremendously!

    New Albergue in Monforte de Lemos

    I'm tentatively (and with much hope) planning the Invierno for later in the summer, and was very excited to see news of both of these new albergues. I'll try to report back if I make it to them!
