Prepare to be hot! It's 36 degrees in Quiroga now. Supposed to be getting a bit cooler - high 20s, low 30s.Look forward to following you. I'm on the Olvidado now but will join the Invierno in A Rúa in about 2 weeks as I've walked Ponferrada to A Rúa already. I am planning on staying in the municipal in Quiroga.

Click attach files then camera (at least on mine) then select the foto you want to upload. Once that's done click on thumbnail rather than full. A tiny picture will appear on your post and if someone wants to look closer they can do so by pressing on the photo. Hope this makes sense!I can't find out how to post photographs directly from my smartphone without taking up a huge amount of space. Any assistance gratefully received.
I think you are probably right, and I think the final straw may be when the albergue in Pobra de Brollón finallyl opens. Anyone have any news on that?I am apprehensive about the future of Pension Pacita, now that Pacita herself is no longer with us. José senior must be coming up to retirement age if he hasn't already passed it and his son Jose Luis, who seems to do most of the cooking, lives in Monforte with his wife and young daughter where presumably he has a full-time job.
Well I'm hoping to see more pilgrims on the Invierno than on the Olvidado. I'm on day 10 and have seen zero which is what I expected. I did meet two at my Hostal today but they started with the Lebaniego and are heading to Mansilla on the Valdiniense.Thanks to @LTfit for advice on uploading photos. Any mistakes are entirely mine. I just wanted to show you the only peregrinos I have seen so far together with evidence that Banksy may have passed this way.
Have you seen the threads discussing how close you are to the top of Pico Sacro? Looks like just a few kms. Given all the legends surrounding it, I’ve always thought it would be a great way to add a few kms to a final short day. You may have reasons to get in there early, of course, but just in case, check out the posts starting around here.I'm staying tonight at the Casa de Casals, near Lestedo,
I didn't see this until I had arrived in Santiago. I could see the Pico Sacro yesterday. Indeed, It is well sign posted from the Camino. I did consider climbing it and, although the spirit was willing, the flesh was very definitely of the opinion that it had done quite enough climbing recently, thank you very much, and that this one would have to wait for another time.Have you seen the threads discussing how close you are to the top of Pico Sacro?

I finished a few days ago and made that same decision. Was just feeling beat from all those other big hills, and plus it was uncomfortably hot the day I walked through there.I didn't see this until I had arrived in Santiago.

I wondered that, too. I concluded that they must be elevation but I didn't actually confirm it.Does anyone know what the figures on this sign relate to? Every hamlet seems to have one and I haven't noticed them before. It's not a height above sea level. It's not the local population. Any ideas?
