That’s a good heads up for people walking in the near future. Rodeiro isn’t exactly bursting with alternative options!
I took a look at Gronze’s listings. @setmeravelles left a good review for the hostal that’s about 750 m off-route (with info...
Day 9: Chantada to Rodeiro — 25km
Before getting into today’s stage, I should acknowledge that Chantada is quite a nice town, maybe my favourite on the Invierno so far for its small but handsome historic centre, as well as the riverside entry...

Hi again! I'm just back from an incredible 8 days on trails, mostly in wonderful mountains! I thought I'd add a couple of posts here to share info on the Lebaniego in June 2024 and then some information on how we extended our walk in the Picos de...
Hello ALL! I'm looking for advice on short stages with available accomodations on the Primitivo during the higher mountain stages of the route. Would like to walk around 16Km(10 miles) only in those steep stages.
I live in a flat area. No...
