[QUOTE="LauraK, post: 354801, member: 469"] Laurie: I just returned last week from walking the Salvador-Primitivo. I was fortunate to have clear sunny cool weather on the days I climbed the mountains on the Salvador and hospitals route on the Primitivo - 360 degree views that were stunningly beautiful. I am a slower walker than you so took five days and stopped in Poladura (also left a little later in the morning because sunrise wasn't until around 8:30 - it was just before the daylight savings time change). I arrived in the afternoon and shared the albergue with an Italian couple and a Spanish man. There are three small bedrooms so we all had a private room. The albergue is not the best but it was clean (a few dust bunnies floating around under my bunk). The heater in the little living room worked well and we moved it to the entrance to the bedrooms at night. There were plenty of extra blankets too. The bathroom was clean and there was just enough hot water for the four of us. It was in a much better state than Borres on the Primitivo. Oh...forgot there is a working tv in the living room. The Spanish man is a fast walker and when I arrived he was relaxing and watching tv). The Spanish man ordered dinner for us the day before (0n advice from the previous albergue's hospitalero). It turns out that you can eat at the casa rural for 15€ or she would make the same dinner for us to pick up and take to the albergue for 8€. The group decided to "take out". It was a delicious cream of zucchini soup and chicken breast rolled around jamon with a sauce over fries and postre, bread and wine. It was very good. However, Poladura is a very small village and there is really nothing to do. While the food was delicious, I wouldn't recommend stopping there just for the food. That said, if I walked the Salvador again, I personally would stop there again (and maybe stay at the casa rural). Having two full days to walk through the mountains with time to rest and snack, take photos and just take in the beautiful scenery was fantastic. The weather was so perfect I stopped several times to sit in the sun, drink some water and just listen to the silence. This was the most beautiful scenery of all my caminos. I would really consider walking it again. Ender has done an amazing job marking the Salvador route. I didn't need a guide...it was so much fun to just follow the flechas! [/QUOTE]
