    Primitivo - General Comments

    oh I am so thankful and relieved someone who shares my terror of steep drop-offs has documented and posted this. My husband has been pushing for the Primitivo over options, for our first Camino. And I searched through the Primitivo posts looking for this specific info - because there's nothing...

    how exposed are the Primitivo trails?

    That looks pretty hairy peregrino-tom! I will definitely be staring down at the path along that one. But it's not nearly as bad as the cliff-hugging path i ended up on at Zion National Park in Utah, for 5 hrs, with a 2500 foot sheer drop on one side. No rail of course. Yeah, so i trusted the...

    how exposed are the Primitivo trails?

    My husband is bery keen to hike the Primitivo. I'm a fairly tough hiker but - i must admit - i get really scared hiking along exposed, precipitous, ledge-type trails. I've been caught out with terrain like that in mid-hike and promised myself i'd never do that to myself again. Can someone please...

    Accommodation on the Camino Primitivo

    Thank you Laurie! My husband and I are planning to do the Primitivo this year. We haven't booked our tickets yet - were watching to see how crowded it is due to it being a special year. Also trying to guage what would be the best time to do the Primitivo in terms of 1)avoiding peak-hour traffi...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from el Primitivo?

    Tia, I've just been enjoying looking at Terry's posts from the Primitivo last year, and his blog. (Thanks Terry!) How long did it take him to walk the Primitivo portion? (I'm a bit confused because I think I read a post from him at the end saying he'd just spent 33 days on the Way - but I...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from el Primitivo?

    Thank you Tia! That was very helpful. I'll be really interested in hearing how crowded the trail is/isn't - given it being a special year - and whether the Primitivo accomodations are absorbing the higher demand. And how much you are actually able to communicate and post whilst on the trail...

    Thank you Margaret. Your future pilgrimage plans sound inspired! Thank you Janet for the first-hand info. Tia, I saw on the Primitivo blog that you are about to go again and will watch for your posts! How are you training for this? I don't see how one can train for the actual Camino conditions...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from el Primitivo?

    Thanks Margaret! Yeah, there are a lot of things I've read about the Primitivo that make it sound daunting as a first "camino" - the isolation being one of them. (Also part of it's beauty). We live in British Columbia and are used to hiking in fairly isolated, mountainous areas. But I am still...

    I'm hoping to do the Primitivo in the early autumn and am on the lookout for posts from there. Am curious to know whether the facilities are adequate to handle 2010 traffic, the condition of the trails and - well - hope you are having a marvellous time! It occurs to me that perhaps the reason...
