Everything I have read on burros is that they are for equipment and not people. You should expect that very few are saddle trained if you find any at all on that route. Good luck!

You will need two people per donkey ---one to push and one to pull. I have been reading about donkey trips on the Stevenson trail, and that is the advice of one veteran. The logistics of renting donkeys to hikers are considerable, and I think the Stevenson trail is the only one where it is common.

Hi, has anyone walked the Primitivo in mid-October? What was it like? Weather, tracks and accommodation? I plan to walk from Oviedo to Lugo only, then bus to Santiago after. Thanks for your input.
