- Primitivo 2021
Hola a todos,
I walked the Frances in September/October of 2011. And had a wonderful time, but I did get in a bit of a rush from Triacastela on to SdC (trying not to miss the flight of the Botafumeiro!). I have a 2 week window, the beginning of October this Fall. I had initially thought I would do Orbigo or Astorga to Santiago and savor it this time. It is hard to beat the Valcarce in my mind...
But then I started looking at the Primitivo.....
Can I do Oviedo to SdC comfortably in 13 days?
How easy is it to travel from Madrid to Oviedo - I'll be flying in from Dallas, Texas and I can get a direct flight from DFW to Madrid - Do I try to fly to Oviedo or is there a good train connection?
How do costs compare per day - Frances to Primitivo?
How about eating on the Primitivo - bars & restaurants? or feed your self and carry groceries?
What is the traffic like in October? A fair number of fellow pilgrims? I'm not particularly wanting a 2 week solo hike.
I would appreciate any wisdom you can throw my way.
What to do...
