Two blogs covering parts of the Camino del Mar

[mikevasey]

Hi just going to give two links to blogs which cover this route, one(the way from Viveiro) has some stunning photos of the areas you will walk through, it is a bit like the basque coastal way between San Sebastian and Deba http://www.15anosateixido.blogspot.com.es/p/o-camino.html and the other(with good photos) has a link title of forestman.espacioblog.com(I cannot get it to transfer to this site) and once there look for the date 2012/04/15 regarding viveiro to San andres. It also links to Gps tracks and show photos of churches and monument connected to this quite old way. There is some waymarking for it but it takes the form of the old christian fish symbol. Still have to see or read anything that Lugo amigos actually waymarked it at groundlevel when they mapped a route last year and this is not to create debate but an actual intrest in what is or not there to help pilgrims on their way. I am walking from the Algarve for 2 weeks later this year, but if i think this route is actually waymarked from ribadeo i will walk this way instead.

Thanks to Peter Robbins and his website where i poached the 1st link from.

Thanks for these Mike.

I have tried several ways to access forestman's blog without success, however here are two links that do work (I think). They are his posts in Spanish - there is a link bottom right to change language.
http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=1956548
and
http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2711329

It is interesting to note that the routes takes two different ways, while the new links on Lugo Amigos are slightly different again.

If this is the one you meant I agree the photos are great. The church ceiling in Viveiro is stunning, like the one in Ribadesella

Hi Tia
If when you go you're looking for the church with the beautiful ceiling be aware its on the COVAS side of the river rather than the Viviero side. However you can't miss it as it is directly opposite the bridge. If its important to you, you may want to know I was able to get a sello from church of San Francisco in the old town and although I saw the ceiling in the church over the river I didn't find anyone to stamp my credencial there.
Good luck with your journey . hot fleece

Some of the blogs seem to have disappeared now which is a shame. If we find others we will post them here.
