Hi Pilgrims,

This has been one of the best posts I have read for a long time. I heartily second this!! I’m starting my third Camino August 8th and I love the adventure of looking for the Waymarkers!
Buen Camino to all!

I’m starting my third Camino on August 8th. Primitivo! Going solo as usual and a whistle sounds great! I’m 65 and in decent shape, should I be able to do the Primitivo in 16 days? Thanks Laurie, you have been an inspiration to me since my first Camino in 2014!!
Ultreia!

If the weather is iffy, fog, etc, then why do this route? Doing my third Camino starting August 8th and just curious for planning purposes! Thank you all!
