    Are you ready for another round of "I can't find a bed"

    I am hoping my August 30th start—with the first four days reserved—will keep me out of the throes!

    August heatwave on camino

    I think you made a good choice. The Primitivo is lovely and a lot of it is shaded. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit on asphalt that is unshaded. I found a solar umbrella is a great add on and worth its 9 ounce weight! May I suggest stopping in Palatino the first night rather than Grado...

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Some people are victims. No matter what side they align with!

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Those pesky flies

    Last June on the Primitivo a Polish gentleman showed me that if I apply insect repellent on my hat (he had a stick version as opposed to spray or lotion) the flies stayed away! This year I’m bringing my own and don’t have to apply it to my skin.

    Albergue or hotel

    Municipal albergues may not have private rooms, but many private ones do. I stayed exclusively in private rooms and enjoyed some communal meals and fellowship every night. I booked most on booking dot com.

    What next?

    Try Primitivo? Going to be my first starting next Thursday.
