alwalker,This is near Ponferrada but well off the main caminos.
Does anyone know if it is linked to the camino by walking trails?
If I click on the indicated link (which does seem to point to correct place) and then scroll down to map, I get thisalwalker,
Have you checked their web?

Well....LOL.. the joy of computers and Google. I still get the map of San Francisco (and of course I know that the place is NOT there!) but then if I click on directions I get a flight from Philadelphia Airport (which is my home airport) to ArgentinaUpdate. If I tap on that map it seems to bring up a map of where I am in rural France and thdn plots the way to the monastery.
yup, it is. there should be some threads on the forum as well.This is near Ponferrada but well off the main caminos.

I walked this route with Reb years ago and posted some additional information and pictures here. Though the monastery of San Pedro was very interesting, the real jewel is in Peñalba, so don’t miss it!
The albergue where Reb and I stayed in Peñalba is now definitely closed.
And for anyone who is contemplating walking from Peñalba - San Pedro de Montes - Las Médulas to join the Invierno, here is the wikiloc track that I had hoped to follow a few years after Reb and I walked. But my GPS got all messed up, so I hitched a ride back to Ponferrada and started the Invierno from there.
las medulas-peñalba de santiago
las medulas-peñalba de santiago Hiking trail in Las Médulas, Castilla y León (España). Download its GPS track and follow the route on a map. Record your own itinerary from the Wikiloc app, upload the trail and share it with the community.www.wikiloc.com
This last part is still very much on my wish list. I have now walked twice to Peñalba, once from El Acebo and once from Ponferrada and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Reb, you up for it?!
