    Should be in Lugo on the 18th. Trying to figure out the rout once I hit CF.

    Coming out of Le Mesa. Wonderful views. We did have to climb down the through those clouds down to the reservoir.

    It was the Hotel Palacio de Meras. I splurged and stayed at the hotel. They do have a very nice Albergue as well that I would recommend.

    There seem to be some beds available. Though you may want to book the day before and day after hospitalers since those are choke points with very limited alternatives in the immediate area.

    LIVE from the Camino Primitivo 7 Sept Start

    Ended up taking a recovery/rest day in Tineo. Nice place, great atmosphere. A few old injuries started playing up and I was running out of juice. After fattening up for a day I should be good to go on the 12th. Unable to book Samblismo so have a spot at La Montera in Borres. Trying to book...

    Just booked, or trying to book Samblismo for the 11th. Seem like very nice folks. Location could not be better for the Big H. 12th seems a bit more problematic.

    LIVE from the Camino Primitivo 7 Sept Start

    Well Oviedo lived up to its reputation of being hard to leave if you only follow Camino markers. However I had the handy dandy Camino Ninja app, plus a few others, to lead the way out. Navigation after that was straight forward though there was one church that tried to lure pilgrimage off the...

    Stopped at Paladin for lunch. Sin gluten (gluten free) is on the menu! Something I have been worrying about since I was diagnosed two months ago. I’ll be topping up my water supply from the fuente, another first. A bit tired, hills here seem to have higher gravity than the ones back home, but...

    Will do! I’ll be sure not to mention the wonderful weather, breathtaking views, and well marked gorgeous trails that I saw the first 15 km.

    Situation Albergues Primitivo

    I am in Oviedo at the moment. I have booked here, Grado, and Salas because I wanted to get a feel of just how busy it is. I’ll be checking the municipals when I stop just to see if the bed rush is a problem right now. I’ll pass on what I discover. one thing you might want to consider is that...

    LIVE from the Camino Primitivo 7 Sept Start

    Arrived in Oviedo this afternoon. Got my first stamp at the cathedral, and I have to admit that a little thrill of excitement ran through me when I saw the actual ink on the paper. Off to Grado tomorrow.

    Mead (aguamiel) on the Primitivo

    Off the beaten path it is then. Thank you.

    Mead (aguamiel) on the Primitivo

    Thanks for the info! I'll keep my eyes peeled when I pass through. In the US so not able to get mail orders. As for not being a particular fan, I understand. Mead that I can easily find on the market tends to be tooth crackling sweet, something I don't care for. Which is a shame as mead can...

    Mead (aguamiel) on the Primitivo

    Does anyone have any experience with, or even finding, mead on the Primitivo? Ever the optimist, I am beginning planning for a 2021 camino. The primitivo appeals to me because of the rout’s history, physical challenge, and length. During my preliminary research I noticed that honey was one of...

    how cold might it get on Primitivo?

    I think you guys just added about a kilo of weight to my 2020 packing list. Good to know information.
