Sanabres Camino via Verin

Perejil

Hi peregrino
I'm thinking of walking the Sanabres Camino for the first time ever this year. The back of my napkin plan is to start in Verin, where relatives live, and conclude in Santiago in 7 or so days. I'd also consider starting before Verin to extend the Cameno experience.
Ive searched the internet and found some information on the route but little on the Verin deviation. Im Australian and I know Verin and the surrounding area but not the Camino path.
Are there any tips or things you 'must see' or 'must do' along the way.
Also the logistics on the Sanabres way. How far apart are Albergers? I'm hoping to walk 20 to 30 km per day and stay in Albergers.

I walked this route last year starting in A Gudina walking the southern route via Verin and it was very well marked. This was my route, I think this section is about 115 km and then about another 110km from Ourense to Santiago.
A Gudina in albergue
A Gudina to Vendas da Barreira hostel
Vendas da Barreira to Verin albergue
Verin to Viladerrei albergue
Viladerrei to Sandias albergue
Sandias to Allariz hostel although I later found an albergue in Allariz which is definitely worht a visit
Allariz to Ourense albergue then on the normal vdlp route.
I did walk in winter so it was very quiet.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi,

Page 33 of this downloadable booklet shows the distances to the next Albergue on both variants of the Sanbres through Galicia.

I walked Verin to SdC via Sandias in 2007 and have driven a lot of the area on the Laza variant. Both very pretty.

The Verin to Sandias stage is very long. I'm not sure if there is any private accommodation in any of the villages on that stage, maybe in Xinzo de Limia?

Buen Camino.

Thanks Mig
I also see from the booklet that there is a Northern and Southern pass out of Verin, which was not shown in the list I made the other day. Inspirational photos in the booklet too.
Choices choices which road to take.
