    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hello Camino amigos. Could anyone speak to the state of the bed bugs on the Primitivo? And from SDC to Muxia? I'll be staying in a mix of albergues and a hotel or two. On the CF, i got bit 4-5 times, during the last 150 km or so. Being the Primitivo, I assume its will be ok with fewer...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Well that sounds worth digging into a bit. Thanks for the suggestion @CaminoChris. I love planning too, and then getting there and letting life happen. I'm going to look into this option, I really like the idea of skipping Melide to SDC, I was thinking of doing that anyhow if I was short on time.

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hi @Camino Chris, I just received the guidebook in the mail and am reading about it. Its nice to hear your first hand account, I realize now the hospitales route is only one day, I was under the impression it was an entirely different route. I hope to take it (weather permitting). The remote...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hi @Tazz, thanks for your taking the time to tell me about your journey. I love the idea of walking the Salvador camino to Oviedo. I've never heard of it but it sounds fantastic...I'm still waiting for my Northern Caminos book to arrive :) Good to know that hills were manageable, albergues/...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hi @pelerine, thanks for your feedback, that is good to know! May I ask what time of year you were on the Primitivo? I'm planning an early June Camino (maybe, hopefully). From what I've read on the forum its quite busy in summer and I'll probably have to call ahead for reservation. Did you find...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hi, thanks so much for your thoughts, its good to hear that you met some good people. The crowds on the CF were a bit much for me at times, as i'm an introvert, but as they say, the Camino doesn't always give you what you want, but what you need..! I am looking forward to a quieter, more...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Haa, Bradypus! You are right indeed, I loved the meseta!! And the extensive choice of accommodations, food, bars, and company on the CF..it felt luxurious at times. I also loved the cherries, fields of brilliant red poppies, and green wheat with that golden road split through it all (late May...

    Hi Devon, thanks for you thoughts. I don't think I can quite roll off the couch, like I did with the CF!
