    Advice for the Camino Primitivo

    Hello Just a note about the Albergue Herminia in Campiello. I stayed there with several people I was travelling with in September. The Albergue was new and clean but not cheap. We ate at Herminia's bar across the street and it wasn't very good. Not horrible but not very good. The wine was...

    Primitivo in September

    Hi just got back and have a couple of notes. Hermaninia has opened a new albergue at Camiello before Borres. The albergue is new and nice and the laundry facility is great. Beware though as you are tere are no kitchen facilities and you are encouraged to eat at Hermaninis's var/cafe. The soup...

    Advice for the Camino Primitivo

    I went to the site described above http://www.caminotineo.com which looked interesting but, unfortunately, the miracles of modern technology (Google Translate) didn't work on it for reasons I have no idea of. The technology can be great when it works and disapointing when it doesn't. John

    Advice for the Camino Primitivo

    Hello The last website that Kristine (peregrina09) gave is in Spanish but you can use Google translate to get a serviceable and rather charming translation of it. John

    Bus transport from Lugo

    Thanks for the information about the distance. I am not too worried about the compostela and my "plan" is to do the primitivo from Oveido to Lugo and then bus to either Ferrol or A Coruna and do the Inglise. John

    Bus transport from Lugo

    Hello I was planning to take the Primitivo to Lugo and then bus to Ferrol. I was wondering, if I don't walk as fast as planned, is it possible to take a bus from Lugo to A Coruna and do the shorter variation of the Inglise? If so would the bus service to Ferrol and A Coruna be daily? If...

    Bank Machines

    Thanks for the information David. The amount of money taken doesn't seem excessive and shouldn't be a problem. I asked about bank machines because when I didn the Camino France a couple of years ago people didn't really want to take my Visa credit card. Don't know why. I do plan to take...

    Bank Machines

    I don't anticipate a problem but was just wondering whether there are places between Oveido and Lugo with ATMs so that I can replenish my euros rather than start off with and carry quite a large amount from Oveido. John

    How Well Marked?

    Thanks Terry, that is good to know. I would much rather walk with a good eye open for what is around me and the next marking than with my eye, and head, stuck in a guidebook. John

    How Well Marked?

    Hello I've done the Camino France and was very impressed at how well marked the way was. I am wonderign how well marked the way is on the Camino Primitivo? John

    Route Variation??

    Hello Pepa It does sound good. The distance isn't a lot different and I am considering the shock of finishing the relatively quiet Primitivo and thenjoining the large numbers I would expect to see on the last section of the CF this year. I don't expect to start until the end of August this...

    Route Variation??

    Thank you Sil for the suggestion. It seems an interesting and attractive possibility and I will definitely check it out. John

    Route Variation??

    Thanks to everyone for the information. After starting this thread I realized there was already a veery similar one. I guess I am not the only person who finds the primitivo attractive but not the idea of joining the CF for the last couple of days. If anyone has any further information I would...

    Route Variation??

    Just a thought and, maybe a silly one, but I understand the Primitivo connects with the CF at Melide. I was just wondering if there are any practical ways of connecting closer to Santiago? or even going directly to Santiago without connecting with the CF? I'm already day-dreaming of Autumn in...
