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.

Villavieja is a pretty hamlet that was once home to the serfs who worked in the castle above. It has a spring-fed fountain and the Iglesia de Santiago. Other than the albergue, there are no services — if you plan to stay here, carry your own food.
The setting is peaceful, with chestnut trees and views up to the castle ruins.
Halfway through Villavieja, there's a paved road to the right that bypasses the castle. The camino to the castle goes to the left of a large renovated house, on a gravel path through chestnut trees.
