In case it’s helpful for those who are looking to start their Sanabres walk from Granja de Moruela:
Last week, when I reached Granja de Moruela while walking the via de la plata, I continued north to Astorga as I wanted to finish the Plata and...
If you touch the bus icon it will show the route and times and number. Looks like it runs from Ourense to Confurco with a stop in Cee and at the Osiera Monestary.
My first walking day will be on Tuesday, but because I am now still in the possession of my laptop I thought it would be handy to start this thread already. I landed on Asturias airport on Saturday evening after a short family visit in the...
Day 17-
This was another great weather day although a bit too warm in the afternoon; near 30°C/86°F when walking. There were quite a few shady forests on this 22k stage from Silleda to Eiravedra, which helped. The elevation change for the day was...
Day 16-
Thankfully today was only 19k and had less dramatic up and downs, going from Botos to Silleda. We went through a few forests, a few villages, and saw the new high speed AVE train that has been a huge project for Span.

Day 14...sent a day late.
The sun was shining today and the weather was warmer. It was a glorious blue sky, perfect day and I'd almost forgotten what they are like with no cloud cover.
Our day was embarrassingly short at about 10k, but it was...
Day 13-
Today was a majority uphill, from Ourense to Cea, a total of 22.3k according to Gronze. It was a long day for me, with a nice variety of trails, lanes and eventually picking our way through wet rocks in steam beds. I see someone left...
Day 12-
Rest day in Ourense.
It was another drizzly day, but mostly just spitting, on and off. We still managed doing a little sightseeing, although it did put a little "damper"(pun) on things, but not our spirits.
First, we headed over to the...
Day 11
It rained today steady for an hour, so we added our umbrellas to our rain gear. An hour doesn't sound like much of over 6 hours walking, but it is when navigating a variety of trails. The weather has been slowly getting warmer, so we...
