I stayed last night at San Clodio, a couple of km on from Quiroga. Having worked out (through mapy.cz) a shorter route to Monforte de Lemos avoiding A Pobre de Brollón, and saving several km.
The climb starts a couple of hours from San Clodio...
Friday 22 November 2024, Lobios - Castro Laboreiro
I'm back in Portugal for my last night here. It wasn't an especially long day today, but there was a fair amount of climbing. 838m of vertical ascent, according to my tracking app. And that...
At some point in the 4km of A Rúa's really dreary sprawl, the km markers counting down to Santiago drop under 200.
The promised rain once again failed to materialise while I was walking, but the clouds stayed low and thick for most of the day...
Thursday 21 November, Campo do Gerês to Lobios.

Crossed the Sil in the gathering dawn. Low clouds, not promising well, but failing to live up to the promise. Although the clouds were still below 1000m nearing Cornatel, so I took the short cut to Borrenes past the Ermita de la Virgen del...
Tuesday 19 November 2024, Braga - Caldelas.
This is a continuation of my account of life as a hospitalero in Salamanca and my Camino Torres
Today was a relatively short walk, so I got a later start, having breakfast at the youth hostel at 8...
This comes like this as default setting when the forum software is installed. I guess one of the reasons would be that a moderator might need to get in touch with a user to communicate any issues this user might have with the forum rules. Imagine...
Apart from the major towns and termini most of the FEVE is hop-on hop-off. You flag down the train as it approaches the station, buy a ticket from the Guard and tell them which station you want to alight at.
I’ve never found a rail-pass that...
