I Couldn't find the string. It said the link didn't work.
Well, here's yet another announcement about the Invierno. Today the Xunta announced that they will do a study for the first half of the year to find out where the Invierno should go and then plan to mark it. But it is already marked, in fact a lot of the markings in Galicia are the official huge granite bollards with ceramic conch shells, installed several years ago by the Xunta. So this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Ok, Petro,Hi Laurie, I start my camino this year on 8 May fromSJPP and I hope to walk the invierno. Unfortunately it will be before all your updates but I am studying all your previous notes and I am sure I will find the way. Thank you for all you detailed descriptions!

Laurie,
Here's more info from today's Mundicamio regarding the route between El Acebo and Penalba.

Hi Laurie,
Since it is called the invierno: do you think it is possible to walk it in wintertime, in terms of accommodation?

Any more news about the Camino de Invierno getting official? I'm planning on walking it June 2015
Hi, Ria, Sorry I didn't see this message till today. Since there are virtually no albergues, I don't think the time of year will have much of an impact on accommodations, unless some little pension owners close up shop for a few winter months. Are you planning to walk soon?
Hi, Ampolla, haven't heard anything more, but I don't think the designation will have any effect on your walk. I walked in 2010 or 11 and it was already well marked. Only a couple of albergues, which will probably change if the official designation actually comes and the numbers start increasing, but for now there are enough places to stay as long as you can afford rooms in the 20-30 euro range. I'm planning to go back in early July, hoping to see a pilgrim or two this time. Last time I met no one. Buen camino, Laurie
Ria, if you send me a PM with your email address, I can send you the nearly complete revision to Rebekah's Invierno guide and it has all the information about lodging. Buen camino, LaurieHi laurie,
Thanks. Yes, thinking about end of this month. Didnt know there were no albergues: time for some serious research ☺

That's a bummer...A friend with a casa rural near Chantada just sent me a link to a recent article confirming that once again the official recognition did not happen. The Association of the Invierno issued a statement expressing real disappointment and no explanation from the Xunta as to why it didn't happen. At the same time there is a lot of growing interest, but the official recognition from the Xunta must bring with it some real advantages like funding, publicity, and waymarking, I would imagine.
Maybe in 2015.....

This means that my planned 1750 kms to Santiago this year won't be rewarded with a compostela?
But how do you get the sellos for each day?No, no, Luka, don't worry. I walked the Invierno in 2012 and Kinky walked this past summer, and others from the forum have walked. We all got our compostelas with no questions, no frowns, no scrutiny. Whether the Camino de Invierno is officially recognized by the Xunta de Galicia is a totally different question from whether the cathedral will give you a compostela when you walk it. And they definitely will! Buen camino, Laurie
But how do you get the sellos for each day?
No crowds on Invierno, that's for sureThanks. We are still researching the different routes. It will be the first camino for my me and my wife and we are looking for something other than the Frances, because we are not crazy about crowds.
