    Good snack for the Hospitales

    Think pork rinds, or pork crisps, or fried pigs ears, and you would be close.

    Good snack for the Hospitales

    ...to eat when I told my story to someone who turned out to be a paramedic. And while I would never otherwise do it, he recommended a cola and marched me off to a bar to get one immediately. It did help me a ton, so I might suggest a soda in your side pocket (and carry your empty can to a refuse...

    Albergue Juvenil Castro open?

    When I walked last August it had opened again. There are two other accommodations there. March is a transition time with a lot of albergues, some don't open up again until around Easter or when it gets busy.

    Albergue Juvenil Castro open?

    Have you used WhatsApp? It’s great because it goes over wifi, you have a written record, and it’s pretty easy to send a message, requesting a bed for a certain number of people for a certain date whether you speak Spanish or not, I have found that the overwhelming majority of people and...

    Albergue Juvenil Castro open?

    Thanks. The fort is definitely on the itinerary. Telephonic contact is my biggest worry on my entire journey (except maybe for a late March snowstorm in Pajares) - I'm not confident in my ability to understand what I am being told via telephone. All of my contact so far with albergues has...

    Albergue Juvenil Castro open?

    ...whether the Albergue Juvenil Castro is open? I've seen conflicting reports and emails I sent to the 2 addresses I found online both bounced back. I hope to visit in late March. I have not tried the listed telephone numbers, as I am not confident of my ability to speak Spanish. Thanks in...

    It's good to also know about Tino's TaxiCamino service, thank you @Paul_Garland. I have heard back from Correos in the meantime: Hi Johann. Correos in Oviedo will be closed on Saturday. But you can booking Paq Peregrino online and we will pick up your luggage on the hotel and we will send to...

    Correos in Oviedo open on Saturdays?

    ...for you to collect on arrival. Takes 3 days, goes with the same vans as the daily backpack transfers. Tino and co resume their service March 1st. Prices less than Correos. Tino starts collecting in Oviedo at 0800 each morning, so you could leave town and start walking early. Wassapp him...

    Icebugs?

    I have walked several camino's in the late March/April/May time frame. I can only recall one day on the San Salvador that it would have been nice to have trex attached to my shoes. That said if it brings you comfort to have them, bring them along. They are not heavy but you will probably just be...

    Which accommodations open in Feb?

    We just returned this week and there is VERY little open (albergues, hotels, cafes, bars). We booked everything on booking.com and got lucky with the snacks packed. We were told most services don't open until March as another person posted.

    Which accommodations open in Feb?

    Not many accommodations open until March 1st on the Primitivo, but enough. It will be fairly solitary. On day 1, Albergue Palatina and restaurant will be open, although it's probably too close to Oviedo for you unless you start late. In Grado, Albergue La Quintana is open. In Salas, Casa...

    Holy Mass on the Primitivo

    ...your planning here is a Google Map of Parishes/Churches along the camino where you might attend mass. Do indeed visit Sobrado dos Monxes. In March 2007 I detoured to Sobrado from the Camino Frances at Arzua; the round trip walk was roughly 50 km. Stayed at the pilgrim albergue within the...

    ...(trans.): Santiago says it will reject pilgrims who leave Lugo with the credential of this bishopric. However, already a month later, on 21 March 2016, the same newspaper published an article with this title (transl.): Lugo's credential, made official by the Santiago Cathedral. It starts...
