    COVID Staying Connected In Difficult Times

    I agree that September seems a long way off. I have no medical qualifications but it seems to me quite unlikely that the Camino will be open then. Here in Australia we’re grappling with it like every one else and it looks like a long road ahead. Buen Camino.

    My intended stages on the Camino Primitivo (14 days)

    Hi Melissa, I did the Primitivo in June. Our stages to Lugo differed from yours as we followed the Gronge stages. I suggest that you shorten the 35 km day by stopping at O’Cádavo.
