Thanks for this - and all the other - replies. I have family in Northern Spain (on the Norte at Boo de Pielagos) so was thinking of starting from there to Oviedo and joining the Primitivo. I take your point about weather but it's always going to be a bit of a gamble.
Advice needed. Having walked the Norte in early autumn 2019 I am considering the Primitivo for next year, by which time I will be 70. I am reasonably fit - a regular walker and runner - but was just wondering if it's feasible. Any suggestions or information re albergues (comfort and facilities)...
Having walked the Norte last year I am hoping/planning to do either the Primitivo or Portuguese later this year. Any views on the one versus the other in terms of 'challenge' or availability of accommodation would be very welcome.
