Camino de Invierno App

Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino de Invierno app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

Belasar sits at the bottom of the dramatic descent from Diomondi, at the bridge over the Río Miño. Turn right at the bottom. A hundred meters past the bridge, the marina-bar Abacería O Batuxo serves food and drinks — it's had some sporadic closings, so don't count on it.

Boat tours stop here periodically. A ride up and down this terraced river valley will ease your feet and show you a stretch of Ribeira Sacra that few pilgrims ever see.

The Camino:

After crossing the Río Miño, begin a steep ascent that takes you on and off the road several times. You'll pass two winery-restaurants on the way up.

The first is Via Romana, on the right. The caretaker may invite you to look around, rest on the balcony overlooking the river, or have a glass of wine. The second, on the left, is the Mesón Adega do Veiga — a comfortable terrace with fantastic views back down to Belasar. People come from Ourense to eat here, so booking is smart. In low season it's only open on weekends; June through September it's open daily except Tuesdays. It's always closed on the 5th and 21st of the month. Tel. 657 805 731.

After the wineries, the camino drops to a small river and a mill, then climbs again. Back on the road, when you reach the third winery, the camino goes off-road to the right. This trail may be muddy and overgrown, but it emerges in San Pedro de Líncora.

There is a place to eat before the bridge. When you come down the hill from the Camino before you the cross bridge take a right and little up the road on the left there are stairs to a house (where tourist boats are)

High water level

During recent storm Herminia, the small brook past the wineries overflowed its banks and was very dangerous to cross - had to take detour by continuing on the roads. Would recommend this during heavy rain.

Restaurant

There is a restaurant at the docks for the tourist boat. Before you cross the bridge. A nice place to stop.
