@Thomas1 I am following you closely as I just started today from Oviedo. My intention was Grado but my legs said otherwise and I stopped at Paladin (19.5km) - Vila Palatina with dorm and private rooms. I am staying in a private room as I have jet...
@Thomas1 , this is turning into an excellent thread for those looking to walk shorter distances on the Primitivo. If you can continue to add the names of the places that you sleep each night (and perhaps the distance?) this could be a very...
4. Day - La Rodriga to Salas. After a real good night in a real nice Albergue (I can only recommend to stay there - Roca Madre), I started by perfect weather - sunny, but not too hot. The way itself makes me sweat a lot (up and down, up and...

As I carry poles, I check my rucsack. I put my rain cover on backwards, so that it covers the straps and back. This makes them less likely to get snagged. I finish it with a nylon strap, with buckle around the middle, and a good label, with my...
