ANOTHER new private albergue in Chantada

[peregrina2000]

Many thanks to the forum member who keeps me up to date with breaking news about the Invierno.

Today, I learned that another private albergue has opened in Chantada. This is in addition to the forum’s September 2021 announcement of the Pousa do Asma.

Chantada suma 28 plazas hoteleras con la apertura de otro albergue

Iria Otero y su familia pusieron en marcha Dpaso, un alojamiento de módulos comunes donde su abuelo regentó un taller mecánico

It’s very centrally located, Rua do Rego, 2, sort of in between the Gamallo and the Mesón Lucus, which are two reference points for many Invierno pilgrims.

There is no question that things are really happening on the Invierno. It still has a long way to go before it hits that dreaded level of masificación, but I would get there now to experience this amazing camino before the crowds descend.

That's it, I'm going to have to plan another walk on the Invierno!!

Thanks for this breaking news

I found Pension Gamallo to be a bit of a dismal place to stay, it lived right down to it's reviews. It's nice to see that there are more options in this interesting town..

I’m excited for others who discover this route, but I’m so thankful that I walked it in 2015. Eleven days of glorious solitude.

and then there were 2! Hooray. Any news on Pobra de Brollon would be great.

I think there will still be a few more years of walking in solitude, or close to it. My most recent Invierno was in 2019 and I didn’t meet another soul walking. So you should definitely hurry back.

From my experience of walking it last year, I would agree. It still hasn't got a fraction of the infrastructure any of the major routes into Santiago have, so it won't be getting over-run just yet. All the more appealing and rewarding for those willing to step beyond the comfort of a bar or bed every few km..

And knowing that it is probably the best marked or most over-marked Camino I have ever walked. The Xunta seems unable to stop spending money on waymarking and signage!

p.s. The new Chantada albergue is already on Gronze!

November 2021, I last walked the Invierno with a friend. The first Peregrinos we met was in Rodeiro. We stayed up having chupitos 30 proof Still very much the road less traveled. I love walking it. So many Caminos, so little time…

I am hoping that all of your assurances regarding the solitude are true -- my concern is that pesky Brierly guide! How fast will it impact travel on the invierno????

Gronz is not showing the albergue at Diomonde -- that's another one I have been watching.
