This will be the 5th year in a row of pilgrimage. We start the Salvador on July 11th after hearing so much about it, and will walk the Primitivo again afterwards. Will post when we can.
Buen Camino

It’s a beautiful camino, not many pilgrims either. The hills are fabulous- you’ll love it.This will be the 5th year in a row of pilgrimage. We start the Salvador on July 11th after hearing so much about it, and will walk the Primitivo again afterwards. Will post when we can.

Meant to say, I did it last year & loved it.It’s a beautiful camino, not many pilgrims either. The hills are fabulous- you’ll love it.
@LakeMcD Last fall, I choose exactly those stages. The first two are bit long for the start of a Camino, but I still think it's the best choice because it allows you to split the section between Poladura and Benduenos into two days, and still make it through in 6 days. I also followed up with the Primitivo. I must say the elevation ups and downs in those two Caminos are very significant. Have look at our blog, from September 2018 for a few hints. Buen Camino!Thank you all for the well wishes. Our plan is to do the Salvador in 6 days; La Robla, Poladura, Pajres, Benduenos, Mieres, Oviedo. Elle sorry about your tendinitis, ouch!! I have had good response to acupuncture for similar injures.
It will be good to be back in Spain. We took a break from Spain last year to walk the LePuy - highly recommend that one.
MileHighPair could you provide me with a like to your blog, mucho gracias.
Way to go! Yes, the day to Mieres is not very pleasant IMHO with lots of pavement. I also loved the final day in Oviedo! Buen Camino as you go onward on the Primitivo! Ultreia!We finished the Santiago yesterday and will begin the Primativo today. The early mountain stages were magnificent. I was a bit surprised at the amount of pavement and proximity to national highway at the second half of the trip but just as we began to wonder if that would be the norm into Oviedo, we were delighted to be on an old Roman road again.
One nice surprise was just how far we could hike with minimal breakfast
