Day 1- Camino de Invierno | The Winter Way from Ponferrada begins in the incredible El Bierzo Valley

The historic ‘Camino Invierno’ or the ‘The Winter Way’! This route was once a lower elevation alternative to the Camino Frances. The pilgrim services from the medical ages are gone - and it is a wild and remote walk. The first day begins in Ponferrada and weaves into the El Bierza valley. The El Bierza is a rich wine agricultural landscape filled with valleys, rivers and mountains.

    Just came across your videos of the Invierno. Well done. Love the albergue descriptions and your general positive attitude. On my list for next spring.

    Singin and dancin in the kind of weather and at a time of year that'd put the stoppers on most people. Young, carefree, strong. Live it Sara, live it! Ultreia!

    Cool: The bridge. The church. The albergue and the old man who helped you find it. Drool: The doll on a stick. The Camino Inviernes is interesting!

    Oooooh...that doll on a stick was creepy!! ... Oh, it would have been funny to do a full on Bridge Dance so the driver of the car waiting for you would be able to tell other people about the crazy hiker he saw that day! Hah! ... Okay, it's good that you did a more subdued dance because maybe otherwise the driver would have road rage in a small town. So, you were very considerate.

    318/5000 Hello Sara, as you have noticed that new road that you start is little traveled, but it has its charm.The previous pilgrim who stopped at that hostel was on October 20, enough days have passed and you will be one of the last, if not the last one before the end of the year, but it has its charm. Buen camino.

    Old men with silver hair , it almost looked like our friend from Oregon in the background .haha. I'm interested in the small villages , where are the people , are their a lot of empty house , why are the churches closed on Sunday are their no one that goes , and don't forget about the dolls along the aqueduct on PCT and CDT . No need to worry if you get drenched on this one as the Caribbean is coming .

    The people all go to the cities. And there aren’t enough priests to run the churches. Sometimes a priest has to rotate around dozens of villages!
