Requejo de Sanabria
Via de la Plata
Camino Sanabrés
Requejo sits in a valley between oak forests on the approach to the mountain pass. It has restaurants along the road and has served as a base for AVE high-speed rail construction crews, which has kept things livelier than they would otherwise be. There's food and accommodation available.
A new river route from Requejo to Padornelo has been established since the AVE construction was completed, offering a more pleasant alternative to the N-525. Check locally for current waymarks.
The camino has been rerouted in several places between here and Lubian due to AVE construction. The construction is now largely complete, and a new river route has been established between Requejo and Padornelo. Check locally for the latest waymarks, as the situation has been evolving.
The original AVE detours that forced pilgrims onto the busy N-525 should no longer be necessary, but keep an eye out for any remaining construction activity.
It is uphill from here to the Portela de la Canda. From Requejo the camino follows a narrow country road adjacent to the river. A new river route now offers an alternative to the N-525 -- check locally for current waymarks.
At the entrance to Padornelo you can either turn left to walk through the lower part of town or you can keep on the road (the camino returns to it).
