    Some basic questions about waking up etiquette

    Firstly, setting an alarm is incredibly inconsiderate. Secondly, why? Wake up naturally and enjoy your Camino. It's not a race.

    Favorite albergues in the Primitivo

    The albergure at Bodenaya on the third day of the Primitivo was excellent as was the albergue at Quinta da Burra on the Portuguese Norte and Casa Fernanda on the Potugues Centra. All donativos with excellent hospitaleros .

    How’s the weather on Camino primitivo in October ?

    We did the Primitivo in October 2019. We had some wet days and it was definitely cold and windy crossing Hospitales. There was snow on the mountains outside Bodenaya...

    How is the Primitivo in October?

    There is a huge difference between habitacions and albergues. It's all about the vibe.

    How is the Primitivo in October?

    We did el Primitivo this year from Oct 12 - Oct 26. We had a few wet days and the wind across el Hospitales was very strong but by all accounts, it was the best route. El Primitivo is exceptionally beautiful and the albergue @ Bodenaya is probably the best I have ever stayed in.
