    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    @sun is shining , here's the contact details for Casa Beningo, hopefully they're still current. Phone: +34 982 375 028. mobile: +34 666 274 344. Email: casabenignofriol@gmail.com. I didn't look to see if they are on WhatsApp, just used Google translate and sent an email (although the bloke...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    @sun is shining, exactly as @Pafayac has posted, or take the Norte variant after Sobrado. As I posted above the only reasonably priced accommodation on the Variant Is at Twin Pines (booking.com). So for me it was Lugo, Friol, Sobrado, Twin Pines and Santiago, although I stopped at the dreaded...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    Very true, as detailed in my thread I was actually attacked by a German shepherd on day two. It was a one-off incident however, and the Dutch pair that I mentioned above passed the same Farm less than an hour later and had no issue.

    @sunflowers, I just had a thought. How are you going to complete the Hospitales if you can't carry your food and water requirements for one day? It's exactly the same situation.

    Doesn't that then miss the section through the woods? That's the best part of the walk! Mind you, if all the OP wants to do is get to Sobrado it would work. Still a fair way without water....

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    It really depends on how much water you drink of course but it was July and I go through a moderate amount of water in a day. Had I thought about it I would have carried my water filter with me, that would have worked well on the first part of day one. It would easily have saved me carrying a...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    Yes, both days I carried a full three litres of water and needed it, plus food for the day. Many have said it's 25 kilometers, myself and a Dutch mother and daughter both measured it at over 28 to Friol. Beautiful. I saw a total of four other pilgrims, not on the Camino itself but at dinner in...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    @sunflowers, I walked the Verde on July last year, beautiful. I simply followed the excellent information provided by @Telelama , ( post 14) and the green arrows. Post in thread 'Camino Verde trail conditions?'...

    Camino Primitivo for younger person

    That is indeed a shame because as I said I met people from eight to eighty , including a smattering of teenagers and quite a few in their 20s and early 30s. Clearly the time of year must have more influence than I would have expected. Judging by others reports on the Primitivo over recent...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    @Thomas1 , thank you so much for taking time to post. The information you have provided will undoubtedly make somebody else's pilgrimage easier - especially someone that wishes to walk shorter stages on the Primitivo. Or, for that matter, has safety concerns with regards to the bunk beds. It...

    Walking from Oviedo to Lugo in mid- October

    I guess this comes down to individual experience and preferences. Yes, compared to the super highway of the Frances the Primitivo is a far more traditional way. By that I mean it has it's muddy stretches - even in summer - there isn't as much infrastructure, and the trails are logically not...

    You got breakfast?

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    Pension Sobrado, overlooks the square. A bit of a drawback with a festival on, but nothing earplugs couldn’t fix!

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    A quick thought for you re: Friol - Casa Benigno - €30 for pilgrims. DON'T use Booking.com or you’ll pay full price, send them an email. I wrote a little on the Verde here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/mid-july-on-the-primitivo.81898/post-1164004

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    There were a lot of pilgrims last July, but it’s a big place. There’s also at least one more Albergue (which, if you're worried, is bookable ) in town plus several pensions. I arrived somewhere between three and four, there was a queue of well over 20 people. After a while they had opened, and...

    LIVE from the Camino K's Primitivo 24

    I think you misunderstood me. I mean it was a shame to miss that walk, because it's completely through farmland etc and a little wilder, not because of the views. I know you were keen to get away from the roads and that's exactly what the Hospitales does. You may recall that I was trying to...

    What a wonderful finish to your day! Shame that you won’t get to walk the Hospitales, but great that you’ve found such an experienced companion. Enjoy
