Split to join Francés in Ponferrada

This is where most pilgrims heading for Santiago leave the Olvidado to walk into Ponferrada and join either the Camino Frances or the Camino de Invierno. The split from the official Olvidado route is obvious but someone has tried to erase the arrows — a GPS is helpful.

For those continuing on the Invierno from Ponferrada, the Olvidado-Invierno combination is considered by many to be one of the finest camino experiences in Spain.
