Off again!
Off wandering again in September! Jill and Janet will follow the Camino Olvidado from Bilbao to Villafranca del Bierzo together, and then Janet will continue on to Santiago de Compostela while Jill becomes a tourist. The Camino Olvidado (above) officially ends in Villafranca del Bierzo although it is possible we might end in Ponferrada, just a few kilometres before Villafranca. Ponferrada is where the Camino Invierno (below) begins, ending in Santiago de Compostela. This route doesn't go as high as the Camino Frances and has a milder climate. It was the route used in medieval times so that pilgrims avoided the higher, snow capped, mountains of the Camino Frances during the winter.
