[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 471715, member: 537"] Hi, MichaelSG, I walked the Norte in 2007 (and will be back in 2017!) and the Salvador/Primitivo three times over the past years. Hard to choose, no right or wrong answer. But for me it was an easy decision when I started the Norte, to stay on the Norte (though we did walk down to Oviedo for a couple of days and then walk back up to Aviles). For me, the main reasoning was that I was certain that I would be back to walk the Salvador/Primitivo, but who comes to Spain to walk the Norte from Villaviciosa? Since you are also a repeat offender, that might be something you consider as well. The Salvador and the Primitivo make for a spectacular shorter camino on their own, or you can combine them with the Madrid, the Olvidado, the Vadiniense, and probably a few others I am not thinking of now to make it longer. But it's hard to add the second half of the Norte to anything but the first half of the Norte. I know that many, if not most, of the people walking the Norte from Irun detour over to the Primitivo. For some the lure of the higher elevations of the Norte is the main attraction, and others don't want to split with their group of buddies. Weatherwise, nothing jumps out at me. The elevations are higher on the Primitivo, so there might be a chance of snow, especially in the Hospitales stretch, but by the time you get there it will be May. The second half of the Norte is quite pretty, not spectacular scenery for the most part, but it's Galicia at its best. And the western half of Asturias after Aviles has a lot of beauty as well. So bottom line -- I think you are going to have a tough decision. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
