16 Ponferrada 5.3 km (bus?)

I will be starting in Fromista, where I left off the Camino Frances last time. The stages are short, giving me plenty of time to visit Romanesque Churches. Some bus journeys are planned, over parts I’ve either done before or know to be boring. In Ponferrada, a big decision: either continue on the Frances or divert to the Invierno, depending on how fit I feel. The Invierno runs to the south of the Frances, and was the traditional route for pilgrims to avoid snow on the mountains at O’Cebreiro. It is also a route less travelled, so there are fewer accommodation choices and longer stages without services. There is, however, lots to see and apparently a train service from Ponferrada to some of the towns in case I want to take it easy.
