Vía de la Plata App

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

A small hamlet perched on the hillside above Ourense. The climb up from the city is steep but rewards you with views back over the rooftops and the Miño valley. Parts of the original Camino Real survive here -- sections of ancient stone paving worn smooth by centuries of foot traffic. There's not much in the way of services, but the setting is peaceful and the worst of the climbing is behind you.

The Camino:

After crossing over the main road through Cudeiro the camino continues to climb, though more gently now. It passes several hamlets along the way and eventually returns to the N-525 (which wound around the mountain). It crosses the road and shortly after turns right to enter Tamallancos via a back road.
