Have a great time, Davroos. Let us know how it goes. I'm interested to hear if you find it really crowded. I have walked the primitivo twice, once in Oct. (2008, I think) and again just this past June (June 15-26). Both times there were plenty of pilgrims, but never a a rush or a crush. I hear that it gets extremely crowded in August, so I hope you make it in under the wire.
I didn't find too many route changes from my first primitivo, except that a lot of the construction detours from 2008 had been eliminated with the completion of the construction. The one place I remember a new re-routing was at the hilltop overlooking Cornellana. I actually did an unnecessary little loop through a couple of really pretty villages, so keep an eye out for the arrows there.
The albergue in San Juan de Villapanada has a new hospitalero, Domingo, who is quite a character and who has done a fair amount of renovation work on the albergue. It's a great stop, in case you haven't been there.
You may remember that Berducedo's albergue is small (10 beds). New private albergue/casa rural combination is nice. Meals now available in what used to be the fancy restaurant La Culpa Fue de Maria. It was taken over by a young unemployed go-getter who is not interested in fancy food. He and his mom prepare one plato combinado, take it or leave it. Fried eggs, lomo, fries, salad, and dessert. 8 euros. Recommended
Municipal albergue in Grandas moved to a new building in the last year or so. Very nice.
There's also a fairly new private albergue in Ponte Ferreira. Nice couple running it, facility is fine, the only problem is that the food that's available is mainly from a vending machine, including microwavable pasta
We wound up spending 15 euros for a not so special meal at the Casa Rural down the road, but it was better than the alternative.
Buen camino, Laurie
