    Madrid to Ponferrada

    Thanks! My thought exactly. Wanting to arrive in Villavieja early enough to tour castle and relax.

    Madrid to Ponferrada

    Primitivo. Vs Invierno?

    After having walked the Del Mar and the last third of the Frances , I’m considering between Primitivo and Invierno for a Sept/Oct walk. I’ve read many descriptions of both and some old comparisons. Wondering about how the two compare lately; difficulty, support, crowds, flexibility of stages...
