    A 2 week walk on the Norte

    I did Primitivo last year (11 days) just finished Irun to Santander (Norte) this year (10 days). I would concur with the Sinclairs that Primtivo is a good choice for 2 weeks and personally I thought the Norte appears tougher with lots of up/down though not as steep as Primitivo. Also quite a...

    How/why is VdlP difficult?

    I am thankful to have found this thread as I am also planning to do VDLP this year. I'm planning for my 4th Camino, after finishing CF, Portuguese and Primitivo for the past 3 consecutive years. I can do about 27-32km a day, and understand about when some say about long distance without...

    My stages on the Vdlp

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I have been walking around 27-32km a day for the past few caminos. So I hope I can cover around 400km in 2 weeks without rest day. Besides VdlP, I am also looking at the Camino Norte. Sigh, if only I have more time.......

    Primitivo 2019

    Hi, sorry to leverage on this forum to ask about transport issue as I didn’t manage to find any specific info. Hope anymore can advise. I will be flying in from Madrid to Asturias, arriving the airport around 5pm. I will be staying some where near the Railway station so that I can start...

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    Thanks for sharing, itsankov. Why would you say it is not the best one? Based on distance covered per day, it seems do-able indeed. What did you not like about this? would like to hear your thoughts.

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    I've tried my best to adjust my schedule, and calculated that if I do not want to miss any part of the route, I would have to complete it in 12 days instead of 13. Has anyone done it in 12 and is ok do-able? Based on the typical 13-day plan, can anyone please suggest at which part can I speed...

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    Thanks everyone for your advice. Yes I will strive to complete it in 13 days as much as I can. That means I need to set aside less time to adjust to jet lag, coming from Asia. I did CF in 29 days without a rest day. So I hope I should be able to do the primitovo in good fashion. Will reach on 8...

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    May I ask is it possible to complete the Primitivo in about 12-13 days (as I could not get a long enough leave away from work to walk it slowly as I would like)? if there is any stretch that I could possible skip so that the Primitivo could be completed by cutting 1 or 2 days, what stretch...

    Traveling to start the Primitivo

    Thanks for your very informative reply, peregrina2000 :). I will take some time to digest what you have written. Yes, the ideal plan is to catch a connecting flight out from Madrid shortly after I arrived, as the train journey would be quite painful after about 17-18 hours flight from...

    Traveling to start the Primitivo

    How far is the railway station from Madrid Aiport and what is the fastest way to get there please ? Am landing at Madrid airport in the late afternoon and wonder if I should rush to the railway station of catch the domestic flight instead. Planning to travel in August but the Iberia website...

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    Hi, would you be able to share your itinerary and how many days did you complete the entire route?

    Possible Route from Oviedo-Santiago

    Thanks for the prompt suggestion, Momonne. Yes, while I have walked into Santiago twice, and the place can get a bit touristy, somehow I still enjoy the feeling of ending it there, and it's a form of closure for me too. Agree with you about Melide. I am wondering if it's possible to cover...
