    suggestion for Lugo to Santiago

    When I was on the Camino Primitivo this August, most people I knew there walked the distance from Lugo to Santiago in 4 days, although there were some that did it in 3 days. Most people then took this itinerary as it is very doable in kilometers/day: Lugo - San Roman de Retorta (about 20 km's)...

    Recommended starting hour for unplanned route in August

    Thanks for the replies! I will start my walk at dawn each day then, so I can have peace of mind while still being able to enjoy the scenery (also I enjoy morning hikes, so no problem there). I will take all tips given into account, and will definitely let this forum know how my Camino went!

    Recommended starting hour for unplanned route in August

    I'm starting my Camino Primitivo in Oviedo on 5 August. As it is my first Camino, I'm not able to know how much I will be able to walk each day. Therefore I am not planning anything for a day to day itinerary. Since I know I will be participating in the race for beds, I want to get a hold on...

    Thanks for the detailed reply! I will definitely follow up your advice. Since I'm walking in August and not in May/June, I guess the Camino will be even more crowded. I will have trouble finding beds the first few days then, I'm not risking calling an albergue for a bed if I don't even know I'm...

    Walking the Camino Primitivo as a 17 year old male

    Thank you so much all for the kind and encouraging words! I don't think alcohol will be a problem and I will surely try to engage in conversation with a lot of different people. After all, I don't want to spend 2 weeks completely alone :) A more practical question: I've seen posts about people...

    Walking the Camino Primitivo as a 17 year old male

    Hello, I'm a 17 year old male, a hiking enthousiast and an adventurous spirit. This september I'm starting uni, so I won't be able to make big plans for vacations in the next couple years. That is why I wanted to walk the Camino this year (this august). However, I am still underage (almost 18...
