    Camino Dragonte: Villafranca del Bierzo to O Cebreiro

    Hi everyone, It has been almost 3 years since my walk on the Dragonte route, so I wanted to revisit this thread. It makes me so happy to see that my writeup has been read and used as a resource for so many other pilgrims! I haven't read my writeup for quite some time but was filled with...

    Catalan Camino and Loyola Route

    ...correct. We will be walking from Barcelona to Montserrat. And, yes, it is difficult. (Perhaps not as challenging as our diversion on the Dragonte route last year, but challenging to be sure.) We did this last spring and I have written a description that you can find in the Catalan Camino...

    Photographing the Camino

    ...and every time. I myself approach art through research and on the Francés I am interested in the less traveled path; alternate routes like Dragonte, Pradela, rio ucieza routes, etc. but also sections of the old roman road that have been well maintained or restored-- Outside of Puente...

    To be lost on the Camino

    I'd love to hear THAT story! Lost by 20k on the most difficult alternate route on the Frances!...yikes!

    To be lost on the Camino

    Wow 😮 glad you met some Camino angels. In 2012 we got lost hiking over Dragonte and ended up in a completely empty town 20 km in the wrong direction. But we also met some Camino angels 👼🏻

    Dragonte in the snow

    Here are a few pictures of the Dragonte Route taken on Oct 28, 2018. It snowed most of that morning. The quarry, as were the other low areas, was snow free.

    That’s amazing, do you have any pics that you could share? I’ve been toying with the idea of a snow covered Camino

    Dragonte route

    Thank you again Mugatu. Instead of my planned start at 5, I started at 7. By the time I reached the village of Dragonte it was light. Everything went fine after that.

    Dragonte Route

    Thank you very much to all those in the Forum who have helped me by sharing information and their experiences on this route. I walked the Dragonte on the first day of snow, on 10/28. It was beautiful. I had no real problem with way finding. There was one way mark that was knocked down at a fork...

    Renting horses on the camino, how does it work?

    Ah -- haha I didn't check on the map. Oh so this means that Dragonte and horseriding could be possible. Woah ;) now we're talking hehe

    Renting horses on the camino, how does it work?

    Horse riding is beginning to sound like a nice option against the Dragonte route!

    Neat! I wasn't sure where everything ended and all. I just confirmed what you said on a map.. thank you :)

    Dragonte Route

    You won’t cross into Galicia anywhere on the Dragonte if I’m not mistakened. The route rejoins the main artery at Herrerias and you continue on it till Ocebreiro. I hope you enjoy this stretch as much as I did. The marker will be further up the trail maybe 2 miles after Herrerias.

    Dragonte Route

    Thank you. Yes I am bringing insect repellent but I'm glad to know there are not so many bugs now. For sure I will sign the guest book. Thank you for mentioning the FB page. I checked out the FB Dragonte group too and requested to join but never received any response. Oh well.

    Dragonte Route

    ...sure if I was on the right track. The weather was great - 22 or 23 degrees. I was a bit worried, becuase Patrick - the administrator of the Dragonte FB group - had told me, we had to get some spray for the mosquitos. But due to low degrees, we never met mosquitos in large numbers. Buen...

    Good advice. I am an early starter too but will start later on this one. Thanks.

    Dragonte Route

    Thanks! Your information is very reassuring and it all makes the Dragonte route sound better and better. I will look for the other thread. Thanks again.

    Dragonte Route

    Just walked it a couple weeks ago, IMO it’s marked well enough. I posted on another Dragonte thread some photos about the way marking and trail conditions. If you want I have a video of mill and the direction , I think the only reason why people get confused is due to the stream that runs over...

    Dragonte route

    ...there’s enough markings imo. I normally start my days on the Camino at 4a so I can see the stars and enjoy the sunrise, but decided on the Dragonte to begin at 8a due to all the warnings that the trail is poorly marked. Once in the canopy I will admit i had to slow my pace to make sure I was...
