    If I may in a hydrological point of view, snowmelt is surface runoff produced from melting snow - not heavy rain. Even rapid snowmelt can cause flooding. During second stage in the month of early April, there were still snowmelt at that time and even more before then - that caused mud...

    Stage 10, 11, and 12: Lugo-Santiago de Compostela Primitivo Camino after Lugo is not a “primitive” quality as the first eight’s. Before Lugo, there were about eight hikers; and afterwards, more than a hundred. Many restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and even a few spas went by. Camino folks...

    Stage 9: O Cadavo-Lugo With unhappy baby toes and as a history buff, I took a 45min bus instead of 6+hr hike. It’s important to mend these babies before hiking the rest. My goodness, it was worth it! A brief: The Roman Walls of Lugo are a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the finest example of...

    Stage 8: Padrón-O Cadavo Wow - this was definitely 2nd most challenging long & steep ascending & descending hike after Mt. Hospitales’. As they say, go slow but Go! Two rewards here: 1) Casa Meson @ Paradavella had powerful kickin’ coffee and made me a toasted Godzilla ham & cheese sandwich...

    Stage 7: Padrón After reaching beyond halfway, I rewarded myself a day of rest if not recuperation. Complejo O Pineiral is an impressive boutique hotel with its true Galicia Spaniard restaurant where many local families enjoy. Best of all, not only it’s the only building in the quiet serene...

    Stage 6: Granda de Salime-Padron Sun finally peeked down as I crossed from the Asturias to Galacia; and now more than halfway. More happy dogs & that tempting sign! Yes, there were muddy, running water, and even swampy trails; but first two stages were even worse. It took some Indiana Jones...

    Stage 5: Berducedo-Granda de Salime Today was chilly fog, misty fog, and wet fog. Take your pick, weather report still lies! <smile>

    Stage 4: Campiello-Berducedo Oh what a luck! Upon arriving at the fork and a weather condition observation, I made a dash for the Hospitales Mt. It was indeed grueling and yet most rewarding: And check out these Asturias Wild Horses: At Berducedo, I stayed at the Camino Primitivo Hostel. It...

    Stage 3: Tineo-Cambillo I decided to stop at the Casa Herminia Hostel & Hotel at Campellio and ended staying there over night. Herminia is a wonderful hostess who runs the place. Her boisterous and warm opened-arm personality was a most welcome sight and experience. Her restaurant meal was...

    Stage 2: Cornellana-Tineo Took a long time (10hrs) due to these boot-sucking mud - and I mean EVERYWHERE!! So much swollen waterways and even gotten cold enough for an hour long snow flurries. Beautiful young Spring season! All in all, I think everyone was so happy to see me - even the dog’s...

    Well folks, sharing my first-hand here: it rained mostly and mud, everywhere. With a rewarding colder beer as I write this, it was well worth it: a 23m / 11hr nature adventurous beauty. Small steps, slowly and carefully; but GO!

    Should all goes well, this Monday the 9th, I’m starting the Primitivo from Oviedo. My wife is back home and most glad of this forum support system! Thanks again Orlagh & Buen Camino!

    Hi Orlagh! I’m checking in to see how you doing. It looks like I’m heading to Madrid from Seville this Tuesday. Then I’ll be eyeballing weather conditions in Oviedo, Lugo, A Coruna, and of course, Santiago de Comp. BTW Your photo shows one very muddy spot; is it everywhere else -...
