Riding a horse up to O Cebreiro

[Qhrider]

We are walking from Leon to Sarria in May 2020 (I walked Sarria to Santiago in June 2019) and read threads that people had ridden horses for a few hours up to O’Cebreiro. I was wondering if it is possible to book in advance? Any thoughts on this? I have read other threads about people doing this and they say it can book up early. We have horses, so it would be fun to do that for a short bit, not to avoid the walking

Booking in advance is advised, as you will have gathered from your reading of other threads. The necessary contact details are widely available. Walking from Leon you should be able to predict your arrival date at Herrerias at least a couple of days in advance.

+ 56 is Chile
Spain is +34

He must be Chilean, as +56 is the prefix listed on his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Al-Paso-130539220478376/

And people rely on information on Facebook?
Godgle tells me Antonio’s ‘phone number is +34 638 04 18 23. It’s the one on his posters and other promotional literature.
But then who would rely on information from Godgle, let alone a Tinker

I questioned the +56 prefix too when I got the number from the Al Paso Facebook page.
Who has their Brierley guide handy? In another thread on the same topic it was mentioned that the phone number is in the Brierley guide. I’m on holidays on the NSW South Coast and don’t have my Brierley guide with me. Knowing the correct prefix will be helpful.

Brierley's guide doesn't have the country code. You could assume the +34. But who would rely on information from a guidebook?

Any number begining with a 6 in Spain is a mobile number and the country code is +34. So the number should be +34 6 3804 1823. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago.

Someone must have emailed v.vigaray@gmail.com because the phone number on his Al Paso Facebook page has now been changed to: +34 638 04 18 23

I just now saw that he has a paypal request to help save his horses. With the COVID epidemic, he needs help since the Camino is silent. If you have any extra to spare, please help. Go to his website and scroll down to find his SAVE THE HORSES plea.
