    Camino Primitivo without preparation

    Having started one week later would have allowed you to enjoy the San Mateo festivities in Oviedo (13-22Sep). They are VERY nice. Concerts every day, and a lot of activities in general.

    Norte to Primitivo

    The Gijon-Aviles track is very industrial. Both cities are worth a visit though. I have walked Oviedo to Aviles once, it's about 30km. I walked starting out to the south of Naranco, walking up to Escamplero, and then it's really walking on the road to Aviles. There is not a lot of traffic until...

    Naranco churches and Escamplero for Day One

    One you are visiting the churches, you can easily walk up to the top of Naranco to visit the Sagrado Corazón. No need to walk up the main road, there is a walking path just East of the second church. http://robertoggarcia.zzl.org/al-sagrado-corazon-vendras If it is not cloudy you can really...

    Muxiana? Not!

    I can understand the disappointment. But, at the same time, how much of the pilgrim experience has actually to do anything with the certificate you get in the end... Not much.. Saludos.

    Camino Primitivo.

    I think I would say that you will enjoy the whole experience more if there is no time pressure. If there are restrictions on time, I would recommend you walk it in different stages... Sometimes we forget that it is not all about walking... :-)

    Primitivo in September

    Bring less than you think you need. You don't need much. And, you can always buy stuff locally if you really need it. One consideration that I will give you. The Primitive route can be VERY muddy after long periods of rain. And September, especially the latter part of the month, can be quite...

    The Primitivo route can't be as confusing as it appears, rig

    I found the route to be perfectly indicated at all stages, more so than I was expecting. Never got lost, not even once. Apart from the sites mentioned, I found Jacobea.net to be useful. The Principality of Asturias also edits a very nice guide that you might want to have a look at.

    Much road walking?

    I found that there was quite a bit of asphalt to trod on the primitivo. But, I think that 30-40% of the time you will be walking on hardened paths of some kind. When you are not, the landscape is VERY nice. I think that if you track the primitive route on http://www.openstreetmap.org, you will...

    Lugo to Santiago 3 days??

    I found this page to be the most useful for the galicean piece hhttp://www.jacobeo.net/index.php?m=eta ... b=&pad=139. You can find the Primitive route completely described on openstreetmap.org.

    How the Camino to changed you

    You have expressed your experiences very eloquently. I am amazed, and comforted by the fact that the experiences from the camino are very much the same for folks, wherever they are from. I walked mine during the second half of June. I think my choice of the route was appropriate for me. It...
