Camino Primitivo - March 17th - April 1st 2018

[Simon Spence]

I am planning to walk the Camino Primitivo this March and then to Fisterra am looking for advice on

What to expect at that time of the year in terms of Weather / Crowds / Places to Stay / Routes Open??

I will be finishing Easter Sunday in Santiago and wanted to know if I need to book ahead for a place to stay.

Any General Advice on Primitivo is welcome

thanks

We walked Primitivo November, last year. Many albergues and Hostels were closed. I believe it's doable in March, but you need to check the next lodging a day before, even in case to be open it's useful to the owner/hospitalero to put heater on. The route (IMO) is open all the way, but you never know about the weather on the mountains. I mean, it can be so foggy/snowy that it's dangerous to go to Hospitales like it happened to us. I don't think there will be too much crouwd on March/April.

Luis, Did you go in March 2018? I’m looking to go this March and was wondering about the weather. I did the Portuguese interior last March was fun but rained everyday. I still loved it. Joe
