Splitting up Portomarín to Palas de Rei

[amgoich]

Hi, I will do the last lag of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago in November 2019.

Can I split the walking day from Portomarín to Palas into two days, and where will I find a place to sleep in the middle?

Thanks!

Gronze https://www.gronze.com/etapa/portomarin/palas-rei has plenty of accommodation suggestions. Walking in November be sure to check that Albergues have not closed for the winter.

Hi, amgoich, and a Warm Welcome to the Forum.

These might be of help.

Etapa de Portomarín a Palas de Rei

La etapa está fraccionada por la sierra de Ligonde, que a su vez divide las cuencas de los ríos Miño y Ulloa y los Concellos de Portomarín y Monterroso. Aunque el comienzo es prometedor y obsequia con un apacible ascenso por el monte San Antonio, el resto se embriaga junto a carreteras modestas...

El camino sigue hoy la misma pauta de ayer, avanzando por zonas rurales y cruzando pequeñas aldeas. Aunque los desniveles son moderados en general, en la primera mitad de la etapa ascendemos de los 350 metros de altitud a los 725 metros.

Ferreiros.

Ferreiros.

Or alternatively a very modern new structure near there.

Lots of places. Ventas is mid way. Both places there are quite good.

Hi,
I remember when I did it in sept 2015 I stopped at Ventas De Naron, a very small hamlet, with a very very old chapel.
There were 2 albergue but not sure if they would be opened in November.

I stayed in Ventas de Naron, at Hostel Cruceiro. Nice place, really good hospitaleras, sisters, I think. Nice bar and restaurant. Their website says they are open all year except for January and February. Made for an easy walk to Palais dei Rei the next day.

Split the journey by taking 2 nights in Portomarin and taxying back - managed to walk through Ligonde on first day and then with such a short day from drop off point to Palas de Rei took in the detour to Vilar de Donas. We asked at Opcion if one of the 'guardians' would be there and had an exceptional tour by a 91 year old. I have a medical concern and this fitted our plans. Buen Camino!

I stayed at Pension Labrador in Hospital, just before Ventas de Narón. I remember it as a pleasant, pretty place. (September 2017)

I also suggest since you will have the time to take a 2 km detour each way and visit the Vilar de Donas church en route about 7 kms before Palas de Rei. The altar frescoes should be completely restored by now and it is well worth the side trip. You will see the sign.
