You take the high road and I'll take the low road...

[Waking Wounded]

I am confused. This Forum says the Camino Sureste starts in Alicante, but the Xunta de Galicia says it starts in A Gundiña. Presumably for this reason it is not called the Camino Sanabres because Sanabria is not in Galicia? Anyway, here is my question: I want to walk in the fall on the "Sanabres" but I don't want to take the route that passes through Laza and Xunquiera. I want to take the southern route through Verin and Allariz. Pretty much everything I have read on line, in English and Spanish, ignores this route. So, please help: where do I get information - route, distances, albergues, elevation if you can, etc - for this second route. If you have a link to somewhere I can access this, fantastic, if your diary, just as good. Many thanks, WW

Gronze seems to show both routes. The southern variant runs A Gundina- Verin - Xinzo de Limia - Allariz - Seixalbo. Try here: http://www.gronze.com/via-plata

Happy planning

This is a link to Peter Robbins' map of the Sanabrés, with both the Campobecerros and Verin routes shown.

I've done both and rather prefer the north one. But Verin is an interesting place, Monterrey an amazing border castle, looking like something out of Hollywood, and Allariz has great charm. The two routes separate in A Gudiña, and rejoin in the outskirts of Ourense.

There's plenty of info online about the route through Verín and Allariz. In addition to the links provided above by Tincatinker and alansyes, take a look, for example, at:
