Itinerary description
Sometimes you get the impression that the Camino de Invierno has been designed by designers of a "Camino de Gran Recorrido" / "Chemin de Grande Randonnée". They seem to hate asfalt, even at the penalty of a large detour.
Since I am neither a masochist nor a purist I deviated three times from the way-marked route
- Day 1: I followed the main road (1,8 km) instead of the "camino"(4,5 kms and 250 m climbing)
- Day 2: I dropped the detour to the monastery of Xagoaza (closed)
- Day 4: I used the road to do the last 3 kms to Chantada

Para mi es uno de los Caminos a Santiago más bonitos, sobretodo si se hace en otoño, cuando la naturaleza nos presenta toda su variedad de colores.
Tiene razón: es un camino muy bonito, como el Camino Primitivo o el Camino del Norte. Disfruté de la naturaleza y del paisaje.
Pero también hay dificultades superfluas como la fuerte subida del valle del Río Miño.
