Swimsuit packed!Ourense. The hot springs are a great way to relax and unwind.
Thanks @SYates , great stuff!Have a look from this post https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-february-abril-2016.38377/page-2#post-391453 onward and take your pick ;-)
Buen Camino, SY
To answer shortly to both of your posts:Looking at a couple of peoples' routes (thanks again!). I wonder if walking from Puebla de Sanabria, is it worth missing out Requejo de Sanabria as a overnight stop and heading to Lubian (about 33k?) and also Laza to Ourense ( 29K?) missing out Vilar de Barrio, or are Requejo de Sanabria and Vilar de Barrio places to stay?
Thanks for that suggestion.I've walked the Sanabres three times and would opt to stay in the Monastery in Oseira. First time and third time I stayed there, the second I thought I would try the other route. Take the tour of the monastery and stop by their store, they have nice chocolate!
Only minus point is the temperature inside the albergue which is great if warm to hot outside but less so in cool weather but there are blankets.
I have never stayed in Rionegro but hear that the food is great as others have mentioned.
It's a must! Here's the chef:So many people recommending "Me Gusta Comer" in Rionegro, it´s on my "must experience" list now!
Thanks for the photos,,,,oh and if enough from the albergue want him to do breakfast he will do so,,,It's a must! Here's the chef:

For me Rionegro del Puente will always be a must stop not only for the "Me gusta comer" but also for the one of the best albergues and village beach on the Rio Negro on a hot summer day
The facebook page suggests that it is open every day, but I assume that the chef must rest at some point, so you might want to call ahead and check.Is ".me gusta comer" open on a Sunday?
Last May I stayed Cea ,,,then Castro Dozon,,Silleda ,,Ponte Ulla then Santiago ,Another question!
Are there any other options of where to stay between Cea and Punte Ulla, not including A Laxe? Now thinking I might do 4 days from Cea to Santiago instead of planned 3, but would love to hear from others.
haa,,no I didn't but would next time !!!!!@Martyduc did you do the Monasterio route from Cea about 20k?
Plenty of options. Check out this:Another question!

Thanks for that very useful information and good wishes.Plenty of options. Check out this:

Instead of A Laxe you can sleep in nice town of Lalin (which is technically on Camino de Invierno) by taking a taxi to/back.
And there's brand new albergue opened this year on the last leg to SdC:

Very nice people. Lady of the house remembered me every time I stopped there for a beer and I got free pulpo rationNice folks.
Happy planning and Buen Camino!
Checked my notes,,,,we stayed at Entrepenas in the Casa Rural El Cuco ,,,right on the camino (was walking with another,,normally im solo,,) so was a chance for a little luxury,,the couple who own it ,cooked dinner and were really nice !!! Buen CaminoJust another question, sorry.
I am hoping to stay in Rionegro to eat at the well recommended "Me Gusta Comer". After that I would like to stop somewhere between there and Puebla de Sanabria. What do people recommend?
Zamora itself is pretty neat; this past September 1-15 I served as a hospitalero there at the municipal albergue. We would typically allow pilgrims to stay an extra night if it wasn't full up, although that is a possibility. There's a good amount to see, all pretty close by, and the food is excellent. JoeHi to everyone who has walked the wonderful VdlP (and to those who hope to, like me!).
I am planning to go back next September to restart where I finished this year, Zamora, and walk to Santiago via the Sanabres. It's only 18 days walking but as usual I like to have the odd extra day just being a tourist. My question is, what places from Zamora would you recommend spending an extra day it you had the time?
thanks in advance!
I did in 2016. Pretty crowded but a beautiful experience. Got coffee/breakfast on way out of town. Well worth it!haa,,no I didn't but would next time !!!!!
Leiras. When you enter the town, there's an albergue on the right hand side of the road run by a young Italian couple. Great food and even greater conversation. They've walked the walk, are very intense; it was the most meaningful stay of my Camino.Last May I stayed Cea ,,,then Castro Dozon,,Silleda ,,Ponte Ulla then Santiago ,
I think so. We arrived during a festival, with terrific pulpo and wine!Oops, I missed out Xunqueira de Ambia between Vilar de Barrio and Ourense! So a stop in Vilar de Barrio but then 29K to Ourense or a stop in Xunqueria de Ambia and then on to Ourense? Also is it worth stopping over In Cea en route to Monasterio de Oseria?
