Yippee! Looking forward to reading of your travels and what it's like there--details, please!I have started today with the Invierno. Etappe until Until Santalla de Bierzo. View attachment 120348
I am following closely, too, and looking forward to any updates you can provide!I have started today with the Invierno.
Is it true that the Casa Rural Cornatel is rented only for several days at a time?I see that Escapada Rural lists one casa rural there, but it seems to be for whole house rental only.

Casa Rural Cornatel is in Villavieja. I have met the owner, a very nice guy, and he indicated a few years ago that he was not interested in renting to pilgrims. He was at the time working on a second casa rural across the road and he took me on a tour of both places. So people staying in Villavieja will have to use the albergue, which seems to be quite nice.Is it true that the Casa Rural Cornatel is rented only for several days at a time?
Buen camino, @HARMINIA. There’s a big Invierno fan club here on the forum, so if you are so inclined, feel free to post here with lots of updates.
Are you spending the night in Santalla del Bierzo? Gronze doesn‘t show any accommodation, so any info you have would really help future pilgrims.

And that is one lovely picture, taken, I believe not far from the turnoff marker from the Francés.
Yes it is in Ponferrada at the start. To Puente BoezaI have started today with the Invierno. Etappe until Until Santalla de Bierzo. View attachment 120348
I stayed here last summer and agree that Guty is so kind and generous.I wanted a slow start and found at AirBNB: Guty . A private room. Because there is no Bar or restaurant in Santalla, she server me Comida and Cena and a lot more. A very friendly woman. Casa amarillo is hers.
Thank you for sending notes here on the Invierno. Much apreciated and it will be my next walk. After Primitivo this April (third time....I love Primitivo! )Yes it is in Ponferrada at the start. To Puente Boeza
So is this accessible from the Camino Frances ???I have started today with the Invierno. Etappe until Until Santalla de Bierzo. View attachment 120348
The Invierno branches off the Camino Francés in Ponferrada. It’s about 50 km longer than Ponferrada to Santiago on the Camino Francés, (Ponferrada is about 200 km from Santiago) and it is one magnificent camino.So is this accessible from the Camino Frances ???
It is the Camino from Ponferrada to SdC. From The Netherlands I fles to SdC and took the train to Pf. And started!So is this accessible from the Camino Frances ???
Thank you for that , it's an extra two days then I bear that in mind near to Ponferrada and see about branching off , it be something different ..The Invierno branches off the Camino Francés in Ponferrada.

Have a lovely time and experience , when I start next week from St Jean I keep an open mind in whether I should branch off and experience the route .It is the Camino from Ponferrada to SdC. From The Netherlands I fles to SdC and took the train to Pf. And started!
Since the only place I ever proselytize is here on the forum, I will throw out the suggestion that you take a look at the forum-produced guide that we did for so many years when the Invierno was really untraveled. Now that Brierley has a guide and the Xunta has spent millions of euros promoting it, the guide may be less important but it is still a great resource.Thank you for that , it's an extra two days then I bear that in mind near to Ponferrada and see about branching off , it be something different ..
Blissfully walking somewhere really nice, no doubt!where is @HARMINIA?!
Wow. Is this in addition to Carpinteiras?Rodeiro

I stayed there in 2019. A very nice place, with choice - the albergue or regular pensión. The food was wonderful, as was the hospitality.but I am pretty sure the albergue opened up after the “publication” of our last forum guide.
Thank you for the info I have downloaded the info and will look into it over the weekend when I have more time to study it ..Since the only place I ever proselytize is here on the forum, I will throw out the suggestion that you take a look at the forum-produced guide that we did for so many years when the Invierno was really untraveled.

One factoid that shows you how much things have changed is to look at the number of albergues that have opened since our last update. Rodeiro, Chantada, Monforte, Lalín, Puente Domingo Flórez, and soon to open in Pobra de Brollón and Diomondi. And that’s just off the top of my head.
And woo hoo, where is @HARMINIA?!
I found John Brierley's book on the Invierno at s local bookshop on line in town so I look on Friday when I am there and it will go with his other guide book on the Frances which I will be following, cannot order it with Ivan as it would not get to me before I leave in 9 days time ..thank you once moreSince the only place I ever proselytize is here on the forum, I will throw out the suggestion that you take a look at the forum-produced guide that we did for so many years when the Invierno was really untraveled.

Not sure which albergues you are talking about, @cardifflad52 — I think all of the private albergues, except for the one in Médulas, are open, and I think the public ones are too!seems none are open just yet
I keep the forum posted when I start out next week on the daily live feed ...hopefully the merrell mqm flex 2 which is my preferred walking footwear will see me through..Not sure which albergues you are talking about, @cardifflad52 — I think all of the private albergues, except for the one in Médulas, are open, and I think the public ones are too!
