6th Etapa Cortegada - Beran(100km from Santiago)
This is the latest stage they have walked which they did on Sunday. They pass through Ribadavia which will probably in the long term become a busy starting point for many pilgrims, it is 109km from Santiago. it also has national rail connections ( well Leon, Ourense and Vigo) and is the center of the Ribeiro wine industry.
One of the reasons this route got official recognition was the historical proof of the presence of The Order of Malta along the way and the large number of Churches with recognition of St James.
The Braga group completed the way on the past weekend, they walked the 9th Etapa Codesada to Ponteva ( 25km) on Saturday and the 10th Etapa to Santiago 17km on Sunday. It's a very beautiful route after going through the only national park in Portugal, Peneda - Geres with its unique and unusual landscapes it then enters Galicia and goes through an area which seems similar to parts of the Camino Invierno.
I am hoping to walk it in December but my work and personal diary has meant my training has not been enough for the last 2 months, so we will see.
Hi peregrina, as i wrote in another post, I walked this amazing camino last June, and there is almost no road walking, the camino goes along mountains, valleys and river banks, through a beautiful landscape all the way to Santiago. It is a challenging, but probably, one or the most pure and genuine camino experiences.Hi, Isca,
Just wondering if you are still planning to walk this camino. December is fast approaching! I saw that Alex (formerly of Bodenaya) has just walked it and his facebook page is filled with beautiful pictures.
240 kms makes for a nice “short camino.” And it has a new entrance into Santiago!
I would be really interested to hear more, and especially about the amount of asphalt. It looks like this camino has escaped the plague of crushed rock so far, and I don’t see too many pictures of road walking, but that could be just because no one takes a picture when walking along the road! Buen camino, Laurie
Do you know if bombeiros host on this way? I am trying to fugure out how to walk there on a budget as there are almost no albergues there.I walked this amazing camino last June, and there is almost no road walking, the camino goes along mountains, valleys and river banks, through a beautiful landscape all the way to Santiago.

Unfortunately I don´t know for sure if bombeiros are hosting, but i know that a couple of years ago some pioneer pilgrims on this route stayed at bombeiros in Terras de Bouro. I think some albergues are being opened along the route. Regarding to buy groceries you'll don't have problems with that, you can manage your stages to buy everything you need, but keep in mind that you'll be walking mostly across mountains and small villages, and in many stages you'll don't find many cafés or bars along the walking day. When i walked, last June, there was only yellow marks in some parts, and they were marking some other ones, i don't know if at this moment it's all marked, any way a GPS track is highly advisable. It's a wonderful camino, I'm sure you'll love it.Do you know if bombeiros host on this way? I am trying to fugure out how to walk there on a budget as there are almost no albergues there.
Small shops on the way to buy groceries? I am ok about carrying food for a couple of days and cooking it if there is a chance.
How is the waymarking there? Yellow arrows or need for GPS? Thanks a lot!
