    Camino De Invierno Survey

    Hello fellow pilgrims, I am currently working on my Bachelor thesis, which focuses on the Camino de Invierno. To support my research, I need insights from other pilgrims about their experiences on the Camino de Invierno. It would be amazing if you could help me by completing a short survey...

    Samos to the Camino Invierno?

    ...Camino Frances from Sarria westward, I wonder if anyone reading this might have walked from Triacastela to Samos, then down to the Camino Invierno at A Pobra Do Brollon. Map-wise, it's 44km from Tricastela, and I'm hoping that someone has done this and can provide information about the trail...

    Other Routes like the VdlP or Invierno?

    ...for a nice change of scene) Certainly my own venture onto the less popular paths last year, the VdlP (to Astorga not the Sanabres) and the Invierno got me hooked. Whilst the landscapes were very different I really enjoyed both. The 'Meseta like' vastness of much of the VdlP and the...

    Camino de Invierno up by 42% over same time last year

    According to an article in Exprexo.Info, referenced on the Facebook page for the Invierno, the number of pilgrims on the route has increased by 42% compared to the same time in 2023, a total of 2,767 at the time of publication. I walked it in 2023 and thought it was a wonderful balance of...

    LIVE from the Camino Manzanal alternative and Invierno from Astorga

    The helpful person in the tourist office strongly recommended not walking up the Puerto del Manzanal instead of the usual route. Grudgingly admitting that the two are almost equidistant, especially if you allow for the massively greater ascent to "the far famed pass of Foncebadón". "And him?" I...

    Connection from O Cebreiro (or Samos) to Invierno?

    Hola, Is there a walking route connecting the Frances route to the Invierno route AFTER O Cebreiro? Walking the Frances I love the ascent to, and stay in O Cebreiro and would like to visit Samos (which I have not done) - but would like to deviate off the Frances before Sarria and join the...

    Taking the Invierno off the road

    Today’s Diario de León reports that the Xunta is going to allocate 40 million euros to improve the trails on the Invierno, with the goal of taking the camino off the road. The Xunta has done a study designating all of the stretches where the Camino goes along the side of roads, whether they...

    LIVE from the Camino On Viejo, Olvidado, Invierno

    @caminka @VNwalking and all others who got interested on this Camino I'm doing, started walking today. For the last few months I've been preparing myself and studying the options I had to do this Camino. And on the first day I had to put my studies to proof. Yesterday rained A LOT in all north...

    Questions about the Camino Invierno for April 2025

    ...This new thread has been created by moving a few posts from Chrissy's LIVE thread.] Chrissy, I'm going to read all your posts about the Invierno. Planning to do this in late April 2025 and right now I'm just going to plan my route as suggested by Gronze. The first 2 stages by Gronze seem...

    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Invierno

    My son and I arrived in Ponferrada yesterday and settled into our hotel room. We only had one afternoon and evening here as we'd been twice before and had already toured the well preserved castle. We headed out to pick up groceries to take with us as our guidebook mentioned there was nowhere to...

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno September 2024

    Off we go again on a new route for me, Camino Invierno. Not sure I’ll have much to add the already excellent details posted by @peregrina2000 and @Wendy Werneth and Nick. I’m trying to follow their suggestions but my staging and distances are now dictated by the realization that enthusiasm can...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsay’s Levante and Invierno

    Hola! Not quite 'live' yet, but 43 hours after walking out my front door I arrived in Valencia a couple of hours ago. Had a shower, then a nice meal and a beer in a bar across the road. Now ready for some sleep, but must share one thing first. This afternoon I dropped a 50 euro note at...

    3-week Via de la Plata / French Way / Camino del Invierno combo

    ...is ample. In Ponferrada my suggestion therefore would be to swing south to the rarely-trodden, and breathtakingly beautiful, Camino del Invierno. You pass through the Roman gold mine at Las Médulas before trekking high over the Sil Valley (avoiding the highland chill) for the last 270km to...

    61% increase in numbers recorded walking the Invierno

    A Leon website has an article noting that the Santiago pilgrim office has recorded a 61% increase in numbers who have walked the Invierno and received a Compostela over the past year. Of course that is building on a very small base and the Compostela figures are far from comprehensive. Even so...

    ...to Villavieja — 16km After flying Rome-Madrid on Monday and then bussing Madrid-Ponferrada yesterday, we were ready to finally start our Invierno today. But first, the sky above Ponferrada put on quite a show late yesterday afternoon! After much discussion on how to begin this camino, we...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Hello Invierno veterans! @Wendy Werneth and I are a few weeks away from our Invierno, starting 19 June. I have long wanted to combine the Invierno with the Olvidado (dating back to a 2018 conversation over a glass of wine or two in Lisbon with @peregrina2000) but we never managed to fit this...

    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    We are walking from Monteforte to SDC. We are using the Brierly guide primarily for route planning. A great book but unfortunately we have come across some errors that could affect pilgrims planning for a section. One is subjective but the second error is simply wrong information. Brierley...

    Invierno to SDC rather than Sarria

    Started in SJPDP in mis-April. At Sarria we took a 30 min bus ride to Montforte de Lemos to finish to SDC via the Invierno route. Two days in and at Rodiero and the difference with the CF from Sarria is profound. There are circa 10 pilgrims in the Hostal this evening. It’s not every bodies cup...
