sillydoll said:I read a blog the other day where the pilgrim said of the Camino Norte, "don't count on any albergues being open, even if the guide books say they are, and don't presume some are closed just because the guide books say they are. Private albergue owners take a holiday, close for a long weekend, or just don't pitch up. Always phone ahead before deciding where to stay." This advice might apply to the Primitivo as well.
I also remember Javier (from Madrid) saying on this forum:
"I imagine the Camino ingles would be very wet, the same on the Camino del Norte. If I was you, I would try the Portuguese, or the Camino Frances, but absolutely NOT the Camino Primitivo in winter. The Camino Primitivo (from Oviedo to Lugo) is wonderful. But, do not walk alone in Winter because you will be on your own. Often the path is very far from housing so if you stumble ... No antennas so the phone does not work. (Javier - Madrid, Spain)
