My Camino Route in 2023

My Camino Route in 2023
This year (2023), I will be walking my tenth Camino in thirteen years. This time I plan to walk the Camino Sanabres from Zamora to Lalin, the the Camino Invierno from Ponferrada to Santiago. The route is shown with the red line on the map.

Borrenes 27 September 2023

 Thirteen miles from Ponferrada to Borrenes, but one 3 mile stretch was a tiring thousand foot elevation gain, so it was a five hour walk. No albergue here, so I have the luxury of a hotel room for the second night in a row. And there is a bar and restaurant in the hotel, too. This area is a part of the well known Bierzo wine growing region with many vineyards in the lower elevations.

    I bet you that all the pilgrims you sea in Poferrada are not any more in Borrenes.
    A difucult walk to get there is todo much elevation in such a short way. But any way, the good things are that you are in a nice place and enjoying views, the quite ando delicious food.
    BUEN CAMINO.
