[QUOTE="alaskadiver, post: 742974, member: 58926"] Sorry that I stopped posting to the forum. I did upload my photos to Facebook so if you followed me you came along for the ride. In the end, this was a nice walk except for the absurd amount of road walking. If asked, I’m sticking to what I’ve said for the last few weeks, The Primitivo is still our favorite and has less road walking and better views. The Invierno has too little infrastructure and things like the lack of albergues and good food made a huge difference for us. It was definitely more expensive for accommodations but we knew that going in. Things that I didn’t like was the lack of washing and drying areas. Luckily most pensiones had a radiator and we were able to dry socks and tshirts by morning. The albergue in Villavieja is wonderful but they still hadn’t fixed the hot water/heat problem. For us it was no problem as we had the place to ourselves and just grabbed extra blankets and warmed water in large pots to take a bath and wash my hair. Really not a big deal but for some it may be. The food is not as varied as on other Caminos and just mediocre, but we never starved and it was cheap. People were very welcoming. I’m glad I’m fluent in Spanish, I don’t recall running into many locals who were fluent in English. Almost no water fountains. I think I saw 2 but there are bars to fill up in and for the long stretches, we had 3 liter bladders anyway. All of the accommodations were chilly inside even when the temperature was warm outside. This could be an issue for people who aren’t used to the cold. But all the pensiones, hosteles, albergues, and hotels had blankets. Ask questions because I can’t think of anything right now. Sitting in the airport in Seattle waiting for our flight back to Anchorage. We did a 3 day layover on Dublin on the way home. Irene [/QUOTE]
