Going back in time , ( 2018 ) , my walking partner and I made it to Berducedo but with only one bed available. We were directed to Albergue Rural Camin Antiguo in the same village . It was beautiful, had the place to ourselves. Room for a dozen and good kitchen.
Is it still in operation? I...
Last precovid Camino was 2018 , Primativo/ Verde/ Northern . We wish we had a titanium pot and frying pan with us . Came across two or three albergues with great kitchens but NO pots . To keep the cost down and take in the community of sharing along the Camino it was so nice to cook as a group...
Camino Verde .
Did a modified Camino Primativo from Lugo to Santiago via the Camino Verde in 2018 .
Route is Lugo ( Roman walled city ) to Friol ( pension/restaurant ) to Sobrodo . Stay at the monastery! The church there is one of my stand out moments . On to Biomorto ( albergue ) to Astrar...
Hi Melissa
Your tentative route plan looks good. I walked that last year, and found it enjoyable. Most especially the Verde portion. Very quiet and peaceful. One suggestion. After Boimorto , head for Astrar ( 24km ) then onto Santiago ( 15 KM ). After meeting up with the French route it might be...
If it sounds llike you have two weeks to walk may I suggest the Primativo from Oviedo to Santiago ( 2 weeks ) or my previously suggested Lugo to Santiago via 'Camino Verte'. It should take 5 days and maybe for the other week , a walk to Muxia and Fisterra. End your trip at the lighthouse or...
Hola My wife and I walked the Primativo this past May and loved it. Beautiful scenery , quiet walks during the day and if you wanted it, company in the evening. If you are looking for say the last 100 km, I suggest starting from Lugo. A beautiful Roman walled city. I had researched this forum...
Hola Anamya
I have an alternative route for you . I returned in May from my Camino Primativo / Verde / Norte .
I found an alternate route from Lugo to Santiago that will bypass all but the last days walk to Santiago...
One word. GO Do all of it.
Did my first camino for 5 weeks in May and baring injury and the pain of reorganizing my schedule it was the most interesting and memorable trip I havevever done , and will do again !
For the cost of two weeks the memories are priceless.
Cheers
Heading for the Camino Primativo summer 2018. Picking up a new sim card upon arrival in Oviedo. Ok dumb question time. Will I still have the offline maps from Google and Wikiloc I have loaded into my phone after my Canadian sim card is switched for a Spanish version ?
Hello Viking I have been planning my First Camino for the fall 2018 and might have a alternate way you might be interested in trying. I learned it from "notion900" on the forum . Here is the address ...
Planning month of June to do Camino Primitivo starting in Villaviciosa. Flight to Madrid, train to Oviedo then spending a few days before starting the Camino. Any easy way to Villaviciosa ? Any recommendations for a pension or hotel in Oviedo to get ready ? Might use same as we pass thru on the...
