    Dog problems on Invierno?

    We finished our Invierno mid May. We had a “live from the Camino thread” if you want to read about our dog encounters. No bites but for me - a scaredy cat when it comes to dogs, it was scary - but I made it through unscathed.

    Who has enjoyed the pilgrims meal in Seminario Mayor San Martin Pinario?

    We stayed here the last 2 nights while in Santiago and though we were very happy with our room and the location, we thought the food was just okay. There are a lot of good restaurants in Santiago. We had breakfast both days as it is included and it was fine:

    Child Size Souvenir Walking Stick as Carry On

    I’d like to buy a child size souvenir walking stick for my granddaughter. It won’t fit in my checked bag. Do you think I could carry it onto the plane when I depart Spain?

    12 May Bandeira to Lestedo 23 KMs. Nice stay at Hostal Conde Rey. One of the comments we read was about the strange contraption to heat the water. We did not experience that, but they did have a gadget that controlled something. We had an okay lunch at the bar right next door to the hostal...

    10 May continued. The first 7 or 8 km we walked today were beautiful! Palma had her first scary encounter with a couple of dogs in the hamlet of Penerbosa which is the first one after the forest walk. A couple of unleashed dogs (one was a German shepherd). We quickly crossed the dirt path...

    10 May Rodiero to Lalin. Weather is good - dry at least. Nice stay in Carpinterias. There were 7 pilgrims here last night. About a dozen pilgrims and locals were in the bar watching the soccer game last night. Should be a 5 hour walk today - we’ll see😊

    9 May Hotel Vilaseca to Rodiero. So the 17 km on CF from Carrion to the first bar/cafe was an abnormally long distance to go without a stop. We matched it today going from the Hotel Vilaseca to the Bar Recanto and it seems quite normal on this Camino. We knew it, but it is hard. We arrived at...

    There are 3 Peregrinas we met tonight at Casa Pacita. They stayed at the apartments in Soldon and highly recommend them. Very clean, access to a well stocked kitchen, and hot showers.

    Yes, I think it is a group. When we were heading out for lunch 4 men were being dropped off.

    Day 4, O Barco to A Rua. 16.31 km Wrap up of our night in O Barco. Dinner last night didn’t happen until 8:30. We ate at Restaurant Piquino and I cannot recommend it. Food was overcooked and salty, service was poor by Spain standards and the atmosphere was just not relaxing. On the other hand...

    2 May Puente de Domingo Florez to O Barco de Valdeorra. 20.96 km per AllTrails. Day three is in the books. 13 miles too many for us! To wrap up our night in Casa Rosa. I had my doubts, the pilgrim sleeping room (dorm) is at street level and we couldn’t get the shades to go all the way down. But...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Meseta now. Advice welcome

    We were just in Carrion on April 20, 2023 and stayed at the Santa Maria. My husband and I were in the same room along with others from different countries and continents.

    May 1 Borrenes to Los Medulas to Puente de Domingo Florez (PDF). Just to wrap up last night’s stay, we had paella for dinner which was pretty good. Cullen and I were the only people in the dining room. However there were 5 older Spanish gentleman sitting near the fireplace who sang several...

    I don’t think we needed to book the entire 14 days but we chose to.

    Well after just one day it seems a lot less busy than the CF! We’re walking a total of 14 days on the Invierno, trying to keep a days walking to around 20 km. We booked ahead in most places.

    Apr 30 Ponferrada to Borrenes. A little less than 13 miles today. We checked out of Hotel Temple around 7:30. This hotel was a bit of a walk from the city center so we had to backtrack out of the city. The hotel breakfast didn’t start until 8:00 so we left hoping to find something open on our...

    Apr 28 Rabanal to Acebo. 18 km. Sorry I’ve skipped a couple days but I’ve bee too tuckered out to write so this will be short. We stayed at Guacelmo, the British Confraternity run albergue. There was a lot of snoring going on so once again Cullen said, “no more dorms!”Such a coincidence that...

    24 April Calzadilla de Los Hermillios to Leon. We took the day off from walking to give my toe a rest. Took a taxi to Burgos El Rinero then a train to Leon. We’re staying in Hostal Albany Ancha, 60 euro for a double room. Very nice, up the street from the cathedral and a couple of blocks from...

    When we walked past the municipal I told Cullen I thought I remembered reading that your husband had volunteered there. We didn’t go in but it looked nice from the outside.
