Inverno

[Jim McMurtrie]

Planning our September walk from St. Jean to Santiago. We had a marvelous experience, last April/May, but found that after Sarria the way became more noisy and crowded. We are thinking of taking the Inverno from Ponferrada on to Santiago. I am sure some on the forum has done this and would be interested in feedback.

Do it! Tinca has it right. The Invierno is not crowded and beautiful.

I second that recommendation. And you are lucky because the forum guide has just been updated, hot off the presses for 2019. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/invierno-forum-guide.535/

It is really all you need, though there is a published English language guide that some have purchased from Ivar's store.

In August, I know last 100 will be very busy on CF, I am debating following Frances as far as Sarria and then taking train south to Monforte de Lemos and walking Invierno from there.

Any thought?

If you go to the link I posted, over on the right, you will see a tab that says “download.”. Just click it, and the document will appear. Maybe this link will take you right to the document as well, I’m not sure. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/invierno-forum-guide.535/download

It would be easier to just turn left in Ponferrada. . And that way you wouldn’t miss As Médulas and all the beauty alongside the Sil River. But starting in Monforte will give you some real beauty, too, like crossing the Miño.
