Be aware if you are departing in the next few days that there are currently dozens of active forest fires in Asturias. Several are along the Primitivo route and a news article cited that part of the route had been closed. There's a fire right on the hills of Grandas de Salime, as well as as in Tineo. The smell of smoke is reported along the Hospitales route by a pilgrim who posted on the APOC FB page a short while ago.
I read that many were under control and active measures are being taken to control the remaining ones. But as someone who lives in a state is under forest fire threat every summer, I can tell you these things are unpredictable and devastating. Wish all the residents nearby good wishes and safe travels to the pilgrims already on route.
