Accommodations - Whether to book in advance on the Primitivo
I finished the Primitivo two weeks ago and I'd suggest maybe booking your first night or two to be sure, and then seeing how busy it feels. There aren't as many places to stop and stay on the Primitivo, so within a couple of days you'll see if places are squeezed full or have space and that'll...- Nick Barlow

How much water is ‘plenty’ on the Hospitales?
I didn't for Berducedo, and rhe albergue here is less than half full. I'd also suggest looking at the new albergue at Colina de Arriba (ypu can reserve on their website) - it's a few km from Borres on the Pola route, but there's a route from there to the Hospitales (about a km of steep ascent)...- Nick Barlow

Salas to Lugo. Is anyone walking the Primitivo now? Which areas are affected by recent fires?
In Berducedo right now, having walked the Hospitales today. Route is fully opened, there are a lot of burned areas and a smell of smoke in some places, but was still a fantastic walk. Attached a few photos - some areas more affected than others but green shoots are coming through the black and...- Nick Barlow
