I imagine this is why @peregrina2000 always went left, as making the turn requires a bit more planning.Hi Karin
. I wrote “”this””” (below ) when I walked out in May 2022. I’ll include the pics from that post also. Note: the green dots are the right route.
Buen camino
“” “””Leaving Ourense. Michael of wise Pilgrim describes the two alternative ways.. very clearly. the right variant - he treats as the commonly walked ., and the left way is actually ‘continue straight on’ when you reach the street corner where the split occurs. Check out ‘wise pilgrim’ . Taking the right is a little over 1klm longer but it appears to have a few more stops for coffee .. I went right.
- There are lots of cafes open for morning coffee- I always end up having more than one stop but there are stacks of places and also fruit shops open as you’re leaving. “”””
I would say it was less a lack of planning and more a lack of awareness. Once walking that way, there was a steady stream of Ourense buses coming out of the bus barn to begin their morning routes and each and every one gave us a honk and a wave. I’m assuming the turn was somewhere in there.I imagine this is why @peregrina2000 always went left, as making the turn requires a bit more planning.
I meant mad in the nicest possible way! Camino-mad i thinkBoth ways are perfectly marked with yellow arrows. There's a pilgrim statue at the crossroads. I went left as it makes it a shorter but still tough stage to Cea. There's a 275 metre climb after you finally pass the industrial estates & then that tunnel over 2 km. @SioCamino I don't remember him being mad if he is I'm completely bonkers then !!
