Pazos - Oseira (13)
Today was great! I had a very good rest and a cold was all that was left from my not feeling so well of the last two days.
It was a very nice walk to Oseira and for the first time we only had a bit of drizzle and even some...
First time on the Palta I didnt stay, I tried to kill myself and walk on to Caceres after downing a beer. I am pretty certain I stopped there last year and walked on some of my camino family and a cyclist from NZ. Nice and cozy. After getting...
I stayed there in 2022. Was a great little town and albergue. I think it was already open when I arrived. As above I think it is just as you enter town. I can't remember what I did about registration and payment.
I have had some knee problems on several caminos, @Camino Chrissy, and I was very careful going down to Ponte Ulla this year. In addition to slowing down, one technique that reduces the steepness is to make your own switchbacks. Just weave from...
Something I came across earlier today which sounded interesting. The Ourense local council and a public service organisation are running a project where local people can walk from Ourense to Santiago as a series of 5 Sunday walks. Transport...
Maybe we took a different path than you, as we had few roads until we got closer to the monastery.
Here is a section of my forum report for that portion of the walk, although I am not very detailed...
Ourense - Pazos (bus)
For a non-walking feeling meh-day, it wasn't such a bad day after all. I did groceries in Ourense and stocked it all up in my pack (also because it is Sunday tomorrow), spent the rest of the morning in bed and when it was...
Xunqueira de Ambía - Allariz (9)
I had a bit of a sore throat when I woke up, but for the rest I felt fine. When I started walking in shorts, T-shirt and rain poncho by 10-12 degrees, I realised I was feeling really warm. But I still felt fine...
Vilar de Barrio - Xunqueira de Ambía (15)
A short stage. But with this cold and rainy weather that wasn't such a bad idea. It's the combination: rain, temperatures of 10-13 degrees and hardly any options to take a break. I had one in a bus stop...
Laza - Vilar de Barrio (22)
I have been questioning the distances on Gronze before, but about this stage I am pretty sure: 19,2 according to Gronze, 22,3 according to my tracking on Wikiloc and Relive, and according to a signpost in Laza. From...
