    Diomondi

    They use WhatsApp at the Diomondi Albergue so you could contact them while on route and ask any questions you may have about bed space, blankets etc. I was on the Invierno just over a week ago and they were very prompt and helpful with their replies!

    My first thought would be Monforte de Lemos, it's one of the bigger stops along the way (if not the biggest!). To be honest, I didn't spend too much time exploring places at the end of the day - combination of weather, the small size of the towns etc. - so others on this forum who've also walked...

    I think it only added 2-3km to the day and maybe an extra 200m elevation gain (?). I followed this person's route on Wikiloc: https://pt.wikiloc.com/trilhas-trekking/etapa-11-camino-de-invierno-puente-ulla-santiago-de-compostela-por-el-pico-sacro-87584364 Might give you an idea...

    Day 9: Ponte Ulla to Santiago de Compostela The last day. It was a foggy start to the morning down in the valley. But as has been the case for much of this walk, the weather only added to experience. Shortly after leaving Ponte Ulla the trails heads up and soon I was above the fog and under...

    This is the first time I've used an app on a Camino and have been really pleased with it! I was talking to another pilgrim a few days ago and we were both looking at our apps - I preferred the Wise Pilgrim to the one they were using (can't remember the name just now). The written text was good...

    [Note: I've got wifi tonight and have added photos to days 1 & 7 if anyone's interested] Day 8: Lalín to Ponte Ulla The Camino leaves Lalin along a lovely river side park, an easy start to the day. This stage was long but not complicated and having places to stop and have a seat was...

    Day 7: Rodeiro to Lalín [Edit: I was only able to upload one photo as the wifi and data coverage is poor here. I'll try and edit and upload more photos tomorrow] Cold, crisp start to the day. I thought I'd go see what Panadería Jesús was like, as it is mentioned in all the guides and apps. I...

    Thanks for this! When I was walking in it I so wanted to take pictures and show folks what it was like. Looking down from the highway onto the Camino was shocking! With respect to Chantada, here's a screenshot of the video the hostel owners shared with us. I think the spot @VNwalking mentioned...

    She's messaged to say she needs surgery, so she'll need to return another time. But she's from Galicia and hopes to meet us in Santiago.

    Day 6: Belasar to Rodeiro After yesterday's adventure, the hostel owners chatted with us for a while and suggested taking a taxi back to Diomondi to not miss that section. However, after reading all about the ascent down to Belasar on the forum under normal conditions, there was no way I was...

    The floods here in Chantada are subsiding already so I'm hopeful about tomorrow. I'll study the threads and see how things go tomorrow. I'll never forget today!

    Thanks for that info! I've looked at the weather forecast and talked to folks here and it's to be sunny tomorrow! And for the next 5 days! We're through the worst of it, I think (hope)!

    I'm so glad to hear you're safe! It is incredible out there just now! I can hear it still coming down. Stay safe out there!

    Day 5: Monforte to Chantada Well, not the day I had in mind! The plan was a quick, short walk to Diomondi as I really wanted to stay there. But it was not meant to be. There were rain warnings for the region and I thought I was prepared - dressed in Gore-Tex from head to toe - and as it was to...

    What a great trail this is! And I think I've found myself in the Camino Invierno's version of a Pilgrim wave - there were 6 of us at Hostal Quiper last night in Quiroga (all solo travellers) and apparently there are at least 2 more in Monforte tonight. I did not expect to be among this many on...

    LIVE from the Camino Christmas break Camino Invierno

    Nope, no walking in the dark (yet?)! It gets light enough to walk without a headlamp by 8:30 and sunset is around 18:00 just now so enough time to get into town while it's still light. I'll post an update again tomorrow if I can...but now sleep in beckoning after another long walk today and a...
