Not quite live - La Porta de Valcarce to Vega de Valcarce lack of path

If I recall correctly, in that area, the Camino path is on the other side of the stream or river that runs alongside the highway (N - carretera) route. Road walking is optional depending on the condition of the path - which I also recall does get sloppy if there is a lot of rain.

Also, on the side of the concrete barriers along this stretch of carretera, there is a path on the side facing away from the road that can be walked with a greater degree of safety.

If I misremembered this, please correct me. When I walk this stretch, I customarily prefer to stay as the large Valcarce truck stop hotel on the opposite side of the carretera. It is a bargain. The food is not much, but the rooms are excellent value for money.

Hope this helps.
