    Bucket List - What we must plan to not miss on the Way?

    I read and read before my first Camino, after waiting 10 years to walk it. I had a friend that told me about her favourite moments- they were not mine! My first steps out of SJPdP were awe inspiring since I was finally on the Camino, walking. I met amazing people, stayed in magical places...

    LIVE from the Camino Live Report from VdlP Starting from Seville on 6/20/18

    Excellent Camino my friend! I have received an email today from a fellow 2013 Camino pilgrim who has just arrived in Santiago. I am looking forward to walking another Camino soon but will just walk my 11 days in the Alps for now. When you mentioned being close to the water, I remembered that...

    Hello! How wonderful to be following you! When I hear of your umbrella, I think of our many days under the very direct Italian sun! Keep up the spirited walk, my friend!

    Combined Guide Info for Camino Primitivo

    Hi Laurie, my experience at the Café Casa Marques in Berducedo was very positive. The food was good, with options and the accommodations more than suitable for the price for a double. After the long walk, it seemed to be rather no nonsense and who ever complains about clean sheets and fresh...

    Combined Guide Info for Camino Primitivo

    I believe you are right. They do have a few Menu del Dia choices. The restaurant area does look slightly upscale compared to the rest! Christine

    Combined Guide Info for Camino Primitivo

    HI The Pension/restaurant/bar is the Cafe Casa Marques. The rooms are quaint, a bit wonky and certainly not new but clean sheets and towels provided. Shared bath with washer available and laundry hanging outside. 25E for a double. I think a single was arournd 18E. After the day's walk, the...

    Combined Guide Info for Camino Primitivo

    Liz's guide was my only resource as I walked and it was very good! I truly enjoyed being able to have one page to look at for the day, handy and accessible in a side pocket. A few items to add as you wish: Albergues with kitchens: some more than others. Usually a full kitchen will not include a...

    In the early stages of planning for the Primitivo

    Hi all I just returned form the Primitivo, Oviedo to Santiago in 11 days, with the last day into Santiago being the longest at about 42 km, which was my similar last day last year on the Frances. The average walking day will vary according to your capabilities and desires but also the services...

    Is Spanish fluency essential on the Primativo?

    I may see you out there, Rebecca. I start walking from Oviedo on August 30th. I had the same questions for clothing, albergues and weather but I try not to worry- seems like the Camino always provides if you trust! That said, I bring a few layers to ensure being warm- just do washing every day...

Unfortunately, I was not able to make a consice guide yet! I appreciate your revised guide as...

    Camino Primitivo or Frances in September 2014?

    Greetings! I also walked the Camino Frances in June 2013, on my own and loved it. I will be heading out for the Primitivo, starting to walk on Aug 30-31. I have shorter vacation time then but I am hoping to walk to Muxia. Perhaps I'll see you on the way. Buen camino!

    Post Camino blues

    t2andreo, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It captures the esssence of what most of us feel like after the Camino. I reached Santiago on July 9th this year after my 30 days from St Jean Pied de Port. I got very surprised looks at home later when people asked me if I was glad I was back and...

    Footwear in the Pyrenees

    Wow...I'm hoping that the wind dies down. You were very lucky to have fellow pilgrims in this unpredictable weather and supporting each other. After reading the last 2 weeks of post, I had to go find a few other pieces of gear to keep me warm especially in rainy weather so I may need to add rain...
