Thanks for this. Trying to open a 'docx', might need to update my OpenOffice!

Thanks Sharon. You have prompted me to finally install the Open Office update that has been sitting in my files for ages.
The update on the Camino is just what we need as we plan for next year on the Primitivo. Really helpful.
One question. When Terry walked the Primitivo in 2009 there were roadworks after Paradavella, near Lastra, making it quite dangerous. (Path along side of a drop but road bad because of lorry movements to and from roadworks) How is that stretch now? and are there roadworks further along or is it all finished please?
Thanks,
TerryB and Tia Valeria

Commencing in St Jean Pied de Port walking to Santiago, can this be completed in 5 weeks?

That would be the Camino Frances, the above author was referring to the Northern route I believe . . .
Maybe ask or research that section of the blog ? That said I believe it can be done, though depends on your walking speed etc . . .
