    early or late May 2012 on the Camino Primitivo

    Laurie is right about the crowds, I walked in August 2010 and we were around 50 pilgrims at most places. A this moment, they are around 5-10 pilgrims, I have a friend who's on the Primitivo now, just passed Bodenaya, it's cold, rainy and VERY muddy. Personally I consider August a nice month for...

    primativo in early july

    I walked in August 2010 and as I never hurry I arrived too late for the albergue several days. Even the private ones and the hotels filled up but something was arranged for us "latearrivals", schools, parroquial centers etc Only one night people had too sleep outside, on the churchyard and the...

    May or July/August for Salvador/Primitivo?

    I walked the Primitivo in beginning of August 2010 and the albergues were filled very early in the day, the rest of us slept in private albergues or schools or where ever we could find a place. If you are a group you have to consider this and may be pre-book. Apart from this, August was a great...

    how exposed are the Primitivo trails?

    I agree with the others, nothing to be afraid of, it's just a hard but very lovely Camino. Josefine

    Boots in August?

    Hi Fatma, shoes, boots, sandals....I guess it's a never ending issue, and a very personal one. A part from weather considerations we must all walk in what we feel most confortable in, that's why giving advice to someone is so hard. One Spanish pilgrim who got severe blisters from her boots, and...

    Boots in August?

    Hi again, and yes Terry and Valerie, it should be Friol :). And I haven't written anything elsewhere about my Camino, I think several other forum members have given such good descriptions about the Primitivo, I don't know what I could add to that, the only difference being I did it the in...

    Boots in August?

    Hi everybody, Just came back from a beautiful Primitivo, I loved it! And I thought, just in case someone else is thinking about doing a summer Primitivo, I should answer my own question, about boots in August. I started my walk in my halfboot Salomon, had no problems walking with them in Sweden...

    Advice for the Camino Primitivo

    Hi again Claire, I have to write again because I just read another post under "Bank Machines". It seems another forum member walked last year in August and had some really cold and wet days so we have to be prepared. I'll have to repack again.... Josefine

    Advice for the Camino Primitivo

    Hi Claire, I'll be walking the Primitivo in August, like you I'm so excited, can't wait. I think the weather will be quite good for both of us, look here http://www.caminodesantiagotiempo.com/c ... /index.htm As to the albergues there was a really bad one in Salas, but they got a new one a few...

    Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela

    Thank you Sill, you found it for me :D it's great to know there will be several departures a day. But I am not walking to Sarria, you got me wrong there, I'll do the Primitivo, starting in Oviedo. You mention 3,4 days for the Inglés, isn't that pushing it? I thought most people took 5 days? I...

    Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela

    Sillydoll, I have tried to find the timetable for buses Lugo-Ferrol on arriva.es. But Ferrol isn't in the list of "destinations" if I chose Lugo as "origin". I can pick Ferrol as starting point but not to Lugo. I suppose that means I have to change bus somewhere, but where? If I chose this...

    Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela

    Hi Christa, I plan to walk the Primitivo in August. I think it could take me 9-10 days to get to Lugo, depending on weather I do the Hospitales route or not. After Lugo I haven't decided yet, I might take a bus to Ferrol and walk the Ingles to Santiago, that would be another 5 days. Or I...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from el Primitivo?

    Hi Jl, I plan to do the Primitivo in August and I'd very much like to do the Hospitales route. I don't think I'll have to do it alone since I expect quite a lot of peolpe will be walking in August. But I 'm just curious to know how long it took you considering it is alot of up-hill walking? (I...

    Boots in August?

    Hi again, I looked at the photos and also found a link to the expected weather in Asturias in August. Even though you do need to be prepared for rainy days it doesn't seem to rain a lot, but one night with rain would make the path muddy and wet so I think I'm decided to get something with gor...

    Boots in August?

    Well Terry, I guess some "shoes" are a little "in between", and maybe that's just the kind I should choose.. :D Josefine

    Boots in August?

    So many different opinions, I 'm glad I still have some time before making my mind up. I went to the outdoorshop yesterday, I asked what would they advice if I were not buing boots but a good trekkingshoe and they suggested this Salomon. http://www.naturkompaniet.se/Product/Pr ... x?id=93734...

    Boots in August?

    Kristine, thank you ever so much for your long answer and for sharing your experience. I will consider all of it before making a decision. And to Annie as well, thank you, because you express your point of view. In the end it is up to me to make my own decision. I'll be back to you end of...
