    Camino primitivo in June

    Hi Zanndat! In June the weather is supposed to be warm but not hot. Anyway, on the northern caminos ... always expect some rain, be prepared for wet weather (I would say that you have like 50% probability of having a couple of rainy days). In that season the Hospitales route will be open ...

    Albergue San Juan de Villepanada

    IMHO Domingo is a great hospitalero! He has his own rules ... which I think it would be wise to keep, not only in this albergue, but throughout the entire Camino. Rules are quire basic: if you soil something ... you clean it, the backpacks can never be on top of the bedbunks, you keep the time...

    Lost my wise pilgram guide book

    I am sure that at the tourist office (and in most bookstores) in Oviedo they will be able to give you something. Anyhow, you can always use gronze (www.gronze.com). I know it is in Spanish, but you will be able to understand most of it (towns, albergues, prices, routes, etc... and you can always...

    Oviedo Hiking

    As long as you are in Asturias (until Fonsagrada), communication with Oviedo is quite good. From Fonsagrada and forward you will find good communication only from Lugo and from Santiago (which means that first you have to go to Lugo or Santiago and take a bus from there to Oviedo)

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Primitivo has begun... :-)

    Try to stop in Bodenaya and to say hello to David, the hospitalero!! :) You will love that Camino!! By the way, after Borres take the route "Hospitales" !! If you decide there to take Pola de Allande route instead of Hospitales, stop for lunch in the restaurant "La Nueva Allandesa"!! Buen...

    Transport along Primitivo

    Going to Berducedo is not so easy!:rolleyes: Probably the best would be to go Santiago - Lugo (by bus), Lugo - Fonsagrada (same, by bus) and to take a taxi in Fonsagrada.

    Two questions about Primitivo?

    Yes!! Start in León, follow El Salvador and, once in Oviedo, take the Primitivo is a GREAT idea. I love this combination! It takes around 17/18 days.

    Two questions about Primitivo?

    Hi Marina!! First: Don't be terrified!! :):):) Be sure that there is no reason for that!! Max. elevation I think it is around 1.200 m (I am not fully sure ... but for sure it is not too high). The most difficult stage is Borres - Berducedo, mostly if you take the way through Pola de Allande...

    Borres Albergue, Primitivo

    The albergue in Borres is clean, but it REALLY needs a refurbishment!! If you don't want to stay in Borres, you can always stay in Campiello. Anyhow, and now on the good side, the diner at the bar next to the albergue was great and Borres is the closest albergue to the start of Hospitales...

    Primitivo in The Fall

    Hi Elizabeth, At that time the weather is supposed to be quite nice. The temperature is probably between 17/18C min to 26/28C max. You may find some rain. The net of albergues is quite good. Initially you won't need to take any public albergue (even if I would take some of them - as an example...

    Accommodation on the Primitivo

    I don't think that you will have any problem in those dates. For me, what is better about Borres is that is the closest albergue to the start of Hospitales. Being a difficult journey ... the shortest the best!! ;)

    Accommodation on the Primitivo

    I walked the full camino past August and I didn't have any problem with the Albergues. After Melide I went to private albergues. Fromn Oviedo to Melide, mostly to public ones. Buen Camino & Ultreia!!

    Stages on the Primitivo

    Once you reach Borres, between Borres and Berducedo, the way splits in 2. The first one goes from Borres to Pola de Allande and from Pola to Berducedo. The second one "Hospitales", goes directly from Borres to Berducedo. This second way, Hospitales, go by the top of the mountains, it is a...

    Stages on the Primitivo

    The albergues depend a lot in how many km/day you can walk. Also is important if you plan to take hospitales or to go to Pola de Allande. Assuming Hospitales, I would recommend for the sector Oviedo - Berducedo: 1.- San Juan de Villapanada, 2.- Bodeyana, 3.- Borres (the albergue is not so good...

    Booking ahead at Easter on the Primitivo?

    I wouldn´t book any night. You won´t have any problem. For the first albergues I would take Oviedo, San Juan de Villapañada, Bodenaya, Borres & Berducedo. If the weather is ok (most probably it will be ... but a percentage of probabilities of being snow) I would take from Borres the detour of...

    Walk from Lugo to Sarria?

    Yeah, that about going to Palas de Rey looks like the only alternative I can think about :-( Can´t your family joint you in Lugo? It is the same 100 km to Santiago. Also you can take the railway from Lugo to Sarria. It takes like 30 min and you have around 6 or 7 services per day.

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    I only have the info in Spanish, but I think that you probably can understand most (km, profile, albergues,...) For El Salvador: https://www.gronze.com/camino-salvador You can obtain the credential for this camino in the albergue "Las Carbajalas" in Leon and the certificate for the camino, "La...
