Tom Vickers said:The signed route into Ourense is almost as unpleasant as the Camino into Burgos. However, zooming in on Google Earth, there seems to be a footpath/cycle path to the left of the road on both sides of a stream leading into the centre of the city. This may be accessed soon after leaving Seixalbo when the Camino rejoins the main road and possibly can be followed as far as the mineral springs of As Burgas. From there it is a short walk to the Plaza Mayor, Cathedral then up the steps to the Albergue.
Does anyone have any local knowledge of this?

From Ourense I went via Cea ( pan de Cea - delicious). There are two routes listed out of Cea:
Route A going to Castor Dozon via the Monestary at Oseira ( dormitory and cold showers)
Route B going direct to Castor Dozon por el monte - the route I took.
I must confess I thought the route into Santiago was ok compared to some others - and pretty all the way to Ponte Ulla.
