Hi all,
Thank you for all the info you've posted here. I've just decided to walk the Primitivo after being loyal to the Frances for nine years. I will be walking this route much like I did my first Camino, which started in Pamplona, with just a list of albergues and an elevation map.
With such minimal tools, I wanted to ask ahead of time about food on the Primitivo. From what I've read, it looks like there will be long stretches without a bar or food shop.
I welcome any tips on how to plan for food. How often do you have to carry your lunch? How often do you go without an open bar in the morning for coffee (I'm a coffee snob and only drink it if it comes from an espresso machine, but fortunately I don't need coffee to get going in the morning)? Is it common to find food shops when you need them?
And the other question on food - I am a vegetarian. What's the forecast there? I prefer not to eat fish or seafood, or really animals of any kind. Will this be solely an egg and cheese walk?
Thanks for your help! I'll also take any other tips you have...
