Short Answer No. I walked the Primitivo November 2018 and as the name suggests it’s primitive ....ok for the nay sayers primitivo means original, but ithis route is devoid, in many areas, of any accomodation or anywhere for supplies. Maybe in the summer it’s ‘more touristy’ but my experience...

And boy oh boy has it just turned icicles. It was grand up to yesterday. Like 17* + not at all cold...I think I’m sunburnt, But then it started to rain over night, took off from worst Albergue In Berducedo.. That will be the...

Think you ‘struck. Few cords’ with this entry Tara. I feel sometimes something so similar...restless and the call of the road constantly. A good read. I’m on the Primitivo at the moment, at Casa Herminia listening to a load of Spaniards argue over a table of cards while I sip a vino Tinto...
