AWe stayed in Os Baños (19km) on day three, but I'll include my info all the way to Lobios here for consistency: There are no arrows between Campo de Gerês and the border. Walk past the campsite north of town (Parque Cerdeira), and turn right a...

ASanta Cruz Santa Cruz contains the first of many Roman milestones on the Geira. Turn left shortly after the milestone and the asphalt ends, giving way to dirt paths interspersed with Roman stones that continue through beautiful forest all the...

ACan I join the thread? I'll paste in the descriptions I wrote for Wise Pilgrim in 2021. They're a bit guidebook-y but hopefully they'll be helpful! There's more flowery prose on the Geira on my live thread. Braga Braga is a large, historic...

Day 3 — Campo de Gerês to Lobios (24.5 km). Surely this day meets the standard of “etapa reina.” The rising sun around the reservoir was beautiful. I sat there for a long while, which is possible because the stage is a gentle one, less than 25... -
AThere's a small bar (the sign says 'Mercearia Cafe') in Paranhos just before you hit the Geira in Santa Cruz. It looks a bit dingy, but it's always open and the lady has a stamp! Very cheap, and if you're going all the way to Campo do Geres it's...

AI was back on the Geira last month (my third time from Braga, and I've done the stages from Ribadavia to Santiago five times). As you say, Alan, it is a stunning walk, particulary in the Geres area. As far as difficulty is concerned, there are...

First post on the forum! I did a portion of el norte with two friends last month. (My first Camino and I’m SO HOOKED!) We are in our 50s, run together and came prepared for physical challenge. Last month June ‘24, we followed the “Liendo a tu...

Day 9: Valencogne - le Grand Lemps 22,5km Morning was a bit fresh and mostly the day remained cloudy, although when sun did peek out it was hot quickly. The first climb was mild but wet and offered a nice view back towards Savoie and previous...
