    Primitivo Detours

    I know there are some who don‘t like to deviate from the Camino route while walking, but I have gotten an email question from a friend about what little gems are not too far from the Camino Primitivo. I know I have recently written something about this, but I can’t find the thread. So I...

    Camino Verde 2022

    I am currently on the Camino Primitivo and will be in Lugo on Tuesday. The Camino Verde sounds great but I am put off by reports of snarling/biting dogs since I will be walking alone. Just wondering if anyone has walked the CV this year and if so what was the dog situation? TIA for taking the...

    Alternative Route Options for Finishing Camino Primitivo

    Thinking through options how to end my Camino Primitivo, there is always the idea to avoid the Melide - Santiago stretch by bypassing southwards. I know there is always the option to turn west around 20 km before Melide and join the del Norte. But I have this strange idea to get to Melide and...

    Primitivo - alternate route instead of joining Frances?

    I found some older information on the forum, but I am looking at September or October this year to walk the Primitivo from Oviedo. I have previously walked the Frances from Leon and the Portugues from Porto. I would like to enter Santiago on a new route.

    Ways to do both Hospitales and Pola de Allande on Trip

    Hello fellow pilgrims! I am an avid walker and would like to do both Hospitales and Pola de Allande on El Camino Primitivo in 2021. I thought perhaps I can hike from Borres to Pola de Allende and then take a taxi back to Borres. However, if I do that I would miss the Pola to Puerto de Palo...

    Detour to Parador in Corias

    My wife and I (age 66) -Planning to walk the Primitivo next April/May. I found a 2017 thread about detouring to stay at the Parador in Corias; We would like to take a rest day there. I'd like advice from anyone who has done this more recently. 1) where did you divert- Tineo, or Pola de...

    Alternatives to Melide and O Pedrouzo?

    Hey guys, I'm walking the Primitivo from the 17th August. Having already completed the Frances in 2017, I'm wondering if there are alternative routes for the final two days before Santiago rather than Melide and O Pedrouzo? Thanks

    Getting from Norte to Oviedo

    I'm currently in Bilbao recovering from the shock to my system of the last week from Irun 😅. I plan to follow the primitivo from Oviedo. Can someone please suggest the best point on the Norte to turn into Oviedo? Is it Villaviciosa or Aviles or somewhere else? Thanks

    Advice in starting point for Camino Primitivo

    I need some advice regarding where should I start for El Camino primitivo ? In Oviedo or Villaviciosa ? I'll be flying directly to Asturias aeroport, but I don't know if it is worth it to go to Villaviciosa from Asturias aeroport? Do I miss something interesting in the way from Villaviciosa to...

    detour to Cangas del Narcea?

    My daughter and I will be starting in Bilbao on the Camino del Norte to the Camino Primitive and joining the Camino Frances for the last leg. This is our first time on the Camino, but we both have good fitness and I think that going at a reasonable (but not rushed) pace we'll have 3 'extra...

    Hospitales or Pola de Allande?

    There's a bunch of forum members planning a Camino Primitivo, and I've recently gotten some questions privately on this particular issue, so I thought I'd just start a thread and let others share their opinions. So, as most Primitivo planners know, when you get to the little hamlet of Borres...
