Haven't started yet planning. .just read on Salvador today for first time. ..any sleeping places recommendation on Salvador and primitivo?I hope it is good weather, or reasonable - a rain storm can always be expected. I have booked my flights, so I will be in Leon on the 18th and start from there. I am still trying to check-out the alberques. Most seem open.
hi
is it possible and nice to walk camino primitivo in middle to end september?
Hi Trude, thanks for the encouraging words. The Primitivo is challenging, it passes through the mountainous areas of Asturias - do you have experience of the Primitivo and recommend that late September/early October will be a great time to walk? The advice of our fellow pilgrims, their recommendations and advice, may determine what we pack in our rucksacks, what we come to expect from climate and conditions. Thanks again. KeithOf course it’s a great time to walk. The blackberries are ripe for the picking buy a yogurt and you have healthy food all the way. I love walking in September. Buen Camino!
Hi! I will start from Oviedo to Santiago in the middle of september. Let's be in touch and change some info. Anyone else at this period?hi

I haven't decide a specific date to start from Oviedo but probably will be between 20 to 25rd...i will notice =) Thank's!I'm leaving Leon mid sep. will be in Oviedo 23rd then on the Primitivo.
I've no experience of the Salvador or Primitivo, but from everything I have read the Salvador becomes more scenic after about half way, Oviedo is awesome and the Primitivo is a challenge, rugid and, they say, the most beautiful of all. I aqm trainning hard for the Primitivo in particular, and the Salvador should be a good run-up to fitness for the Primitivo. Buen CaminoI am also considering doing around 9 sep camino salvador and continue to camino primitivo ..how is camino salvador? Is it difficult?same views as primitivo?

Yes, it is nice. I did it last year and it was great. I encountered some rain the first 3 days but the weather was sunny and not too hot after that. Be prepared to see lots of people once you reach the last 100 km. Go for it, you won’t regret it.hi

Thanks for the reply. I guess you mean I’ll have more time than I need? If so that’s ok with me. Avoiding unnecessary stress is priority numero uno!should be about right, if that is 21 days walking a bit too many I think
@Redhead Keith:
I walked the Primitivo in October 2017. The weather was great and I could wear shorts most of the time. I started in Irun, so I had a bit of training before the Primitivo started, but I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the time it is not challenging at all, except for the Hospitales route, and that is not too bad either. Everybody I met, including people over 70 years old and people just starting in Oviedo without any prior conditioning were able to make it just fine. Unless you are extremely unfit or ancient or have a hip replacement or something you should be fine without extra training. Just make sure your shoes fit and you don't overdo it the first few days.
