    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Thanks for the bus information, nobody in Melide knew anything about those. Back in Melide Friday afternoon. I stayed here for the Monday and took the bus on Tuesday. Started walking from Fonsagrada Wednesday morning. Stopped for nights in Castroverde and San Roman. No snow on ground, it was...

    After some long daily walks, in Melide just now. 35 mins to catch a 17:00 bus to Lugo... could make it to 18:30 bus to Fonsagrada. No food yet today... Not sure. we´ll see,,,

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    On my way from Leon towards Fisterre. IN Melide within a week. I could make a side trip to do the end of primitivo. Is there an easy bus connection from Melide to Fonsagrada? Very limited connection to internet, no devices with me. Occational connections only. Could not find any bus yet, no more...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Thank you again. It really looks like I should forget about the Primitivo at this point. The next plan is to start from Leon towards Santiago and Finisterre, as far as I can make it in about 20 days I have available. That _should_ be more suitable this time of the year?

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Flights fixed now. Arriving in Madrid at noon Friday 24 Jan, leaving back from Madrid Mon 17 Feb. That will allow enough time even for starting in Oviedo. If the weather is bad in the mountains, do I have to go all the way back to Oviedo in order to get to the other side to Lugo or Fonsagrada...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Some further questions before fixing the dates. Is it difficult to get the credencial in Lugo on sunday or should I try to fix to arrive there on a weekday? I noticed the luggage storage in Santiago. It would be nice (and polite to others) to have fresh clothes for the travel back. I would...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Thank you again. I thought also it would be easier to get the credencial in Lugo in the morning. My previous post was confusing, sorry. The plan was to continue to Fonsagrada from Lugo as soon as possible (after finding the credencial). I would then stay the first night in Fonsagrada and start...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Thank you all for the information. Especially Tia Valeria for the alternative plan instead of full Primitivo. Now that I am getting more positive day by day, I don't feel the need for maximal suffering in the mountain paths any more. I will start from Fonsagrada, walk throug Lugo and Santiago...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Some answers to those questions. I am not sure how much time I can arrange. But for example the seven days of walk as in http://www.caminodeinvierno.com/ just feels too short for me right now. I am not a very experienced hill walker, not many hills around here. No problem in hiking up mountains...

    Primitivo in winter, impossible?

    Hi, I need to get out to have some time and space. A friend suggested I'd go walking somewhere on the camino. Camino Primitivo calls me strongly with its name and from what I have read it seems to be a peaceful route. The problem is that I need to go somewhere within a few weeks. Is Primitivo...
